The principle of natural selection is that the fastest or the strongest (in other words the most skill at a trait) would be the most desirable mate and the weak ones that lacked these skills or mutations like thumbs would not be mated with. So the principle of natural selection is we will always find the strongest, fastest or the most intelligent or other advanced traits more desirable.
The theory of evolution by natural selection.
According to evolutionary theory, natural selection is the principle that directs evolution.
Alfred Russel Wallace
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
The theory of evolution by natural selection.
According to evolutionary theory, natural selection is the principle that directs evolution.
He formulated the principle of natural selection, intersexual selection and intrasexual selection which all contributed to the study of evolution.
Darwin's principle refers to the concept of natural selection, where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those traits to future generations. This process leads to the gradual evolution of species over time.
Alfred Russel Wallace
That is Darwin's principal of Natural Selection, sometimes called survival of the fittest.

Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
The prefix of natural selection is "natural" and the suffix is "-tion".
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
Its a chicken and egg situation. Adaptation is the response to Natural Selection, and Natural Selection is the response to Adaptation. They both operate by the principle: the members of any species that are best adapted to their environment are the ones most likely to survive and reproduce the next generation, where the process repeats. That does not mean the strongest or most aggressive, they often get themselves killed off.
