natural selection occurs when animals need it
There are really no steps in natural selection - just conditions required for it to occur.
What population? Perhaps you mean if there were no variation for natural selection to select from.
Without genetic diversity, natural selection cannot occur
Genetic variation. If there were no variation in the genes/phenotype then natural selection would have nothing to select from.
Everything from available food to climate will cause the changes we see in natural selection. Random mutations occur constantly and when those mutations are beneficial for life, the genetic code is more likely to be passed on to future generations.

The unit of evolution depends on the level at which genetic variation is passed on to the next generation. This can occur at the level of individuals, populations, or species. The unit of selection is the entity on which natural selection acts to drive evolutionary change.
Sociobiology is the application of natural selection to human society Humans are the product of natural selection at the individual level and the product of evolution at the population level, so the human generated society is influenced by the natural selection of individual humans.
no there is no genetic variation for natural selection to act upon
Natural selection
no, at the individual level
No, natural selection operates at the population level by favoring certain traits that are passed on through generations. It involves differential reproductive success among individuals with certain traits in response to environmental pressures.
Genetic variation is necessary for natural selection to occur. This variation provides the raw material for differential survival and reproduction, which drives the process of natural selection. Without genetic variation, there would be no differences for natural selection to act upon.
Evolution occurs at the population level, where selection happens to populations rather than individuals.
