1) " Advantage" -- As it applies to Advantage Rent A Car Alternative meaning Natural Selection (computer game). Natural selection is the primary mechanism within the scientific theory of evolution, i.e. it alters the frequency of alleles within a population. It was first proposed as the main mechanism of evolution by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace in 1858. Natural selection can besubdivided into two types; ecological selection, and sexual selection. Natural selection is distinguished from artificial selection by humans. Other mechanisms of evolution include genetic drift and gene flow. Mutations create the genetic variation on which natural selection acts.It is important to note that the term "natural selection" is often used in the inaccurate yet fairly harmlessmetaphorical sense as having causal status. To be precise, natural selection is not truly a "mechanism" in itself, as opposed tosomething like gravity. Instead, natural selection is the result of genetic and environmental forces acting upon anorganism. Contents 1 Overview 2 Mechanisms of natural selection 3 Scope of natural selection 4 History of the principle 5 Impact of the idea 6 See also 7 External links Overview The basic concept of natural selection is that conditions (or "nature") determine (or "select") how well particular traits oforganisms can serve the survival and reproduction of the organism; organisms lacking these traits might die before reproducing,or be less prolific. As long as environmental conditions remain the same, or similar enough that these traits continue to beadaptive, such traits will become more common within populations. Loss of the species' ecological niche or crowding-out due to population growth can change drastically the adaptive traits required to survive - in such conditions, orin any circumstance where survival is determined by ecology more than by the secondary sexual characteristics, an ecological select...

Egyptian hieroglyph ox head Proto-semitic ox head Phoenician leph Greek lpha Etruscan Roman A By 1600 BC, the Phoenicians hadgiven the letter linear form that served s the basis for ll later forms. Its name must have corresponded closely to the Hebrew leph. When the A ncient Greeks A dopted the A lphabet, they had no use forthe glottal stop that the letter had denoted in Phoenician nd other Semitic languages, so they used the sign for the vowel /a/, ndchanged its name to A lpha. In the earliest Greek inscriptions, dating to the 8th century BC, the letter rests upon its side, but in the Greek lphabet of later times it generally resembles the modern capital letter,although many local varieties can be distinguished by the shortening of one leg, or by the ngle t which the cross line isset. The Etruscans brought the Greek lphabet to what is now Italy nd left the letter unchanged. The Romans later dopted the Etruscan lphabet to write Latin, A nd the resulting letter waspreserved in the modern Latin lphabet used to write many languages,including English. Typography The modern lowercase letter derives from Greek handwriting, which evolved from form similar to the current capital to circular shape with A projection by the 4th century. Blackletter...
