Natural Selection and the Owl Butterfly

The lecturer describes how certain characteristics develop. In this case, he discusses eye marking. The impact of environmental factors plays a huge role in the probability of successful reproduction and the fact that favorable genes will be passed on to repeat the same characteristic. A very interesting point is that the level of disease occurring after reproductive years in humans is exponential simply because those occurrences are part of the selection.
