natural selection. when organisms somehow inherit a trait that allows them to survive it is more likely that this trait will be passed on to offspring. the organisms without this trait will die and not be able to reproduce and therfore will not be able to make an undesirable trait more common. the trait that gives the advantage eventually becomes dominate and every young of the specific animal is born with the trait except for the few natural mutations that may occur. a good example of this would be how the length of the giraffe neck became common because of its advantages.
