  • 39

    Two way of selection

    natural selection artificial selection

  • 40

    The best boar gets the best sows, while the weak, sickly and poor ones usually die naturally and have lower chances of breeding other animals. As time goes on, the herd is getting better ("survival of the fittest").

    natural selection
