Natural selection is "blind" so to speak, it has no goal or end game. Natural selection works generation by generation. Whichever members of a group have the best set of traits to produce and raise fertile offspring will pass those traits on. What is best set of traits may change from generation to generation and so will the species. A good example are the Galapagos finches- see http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/07/060714-evolution.html
