It didn't, actually. While natural selection isn't the complete story of evolution, it is the single most important part of it, and all discussions of evolution must inevitably involve natural selection in some form.

What category does natural selection fall into?

Natural selection falls into the category of evolutionary mechanisms. It is a process in which individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the gradual accumulation of those traits in a population over time.


Did Galileo develop theory that what makes apples fall keeps planets in their orbits?

No. Galileo experimented with gravity and began developing the theory. But Sir Isaac Newton was the mathematician who proposed the inverse-square law of universal gravitation, which hypothesized that gravity is what keeps the planets in their orbs. He said that his theory was inspired by watching an apple fall from a tree.

Explain the difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law?

A scientific law is a generalization from a series of multiple observations. For example, the law of gravity postulates that objects that have mass are attracted to each other. A scientific theory is the mechanism that explains a law. For example, the particle theory of light explains why light can travel through a vacuum. N.B. One of the most commonly miscatergorizes laws is the law of evolution (it's often called the theory of evolution). Evolution is a scientific law stating that organisms change into different species over several generations. Darwins theory of natural selection is the theory explaining this law. Natural selection postulates that evolution happens because certain organisms are better adapted to their environment than others, thereby being more likely to pass on such traits to their offspring.

How do natural selection and mutations fall short in explaining design?

They don't. The appearance of design in nature is an illusion that only the ideological keep to.


Why is evolution a law and natural selection a theory?

In science, a law is a rule of thumb describingobservations, and a theory a model explaining those observations. For example, if one observes that an apple drops to the floor each and every time one lets it go, one can formulate a law that says 'apples fall towards the ground'. One can then go on to formulate a theory to explain why apples fall towards the ground.Likewise, that life evolves is a simple observation: we see live changing, both in the smallest detail and in their overall morphology, everywhere we look. The law is therefore that life changes, that it evolves. Natural selection is part of the explanation for why and how life changes.

What was the name of the theory of evolution as it applied to society?

Social Darwinism is the theory that individuals, groups, and peoples are subject to the same Darwinian laws of natural selection as plants and animals. It was used to justify social and economic inequality, arguing that those who were the fittest would naturally rise to the top while the weak would fall behind.


What is the belief that inequality in society is the result of natural selection based on individual capacities and abilities?

You have two things confused. Societies working this way is the concept of Social Darwinism, a misguided attempt to explain societal differences by some form of group selection. Individuals do vary in their capacities and abilities and this is what natural selection is selecting and you confuse equality of identity with equality of morality under the law.


How did amino acids fall into the evolutionary theory?

Amino acids are not part of evolutionary theory. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much of the mechanism for evolution. Alleles are different molecular forms of the same gene. This means different alleles could code for the manufacturing of different proteins, or proteins with different functions. Proteins are made of amino acids, which is as close as amino acids get to the theory of evolution. If it were some other molecule then the theory of evolution would still be explaining much the same thing.
