Natural selection causes adaptation, the fit between an organism
and its environment. For example, the white and grey coloration of
snowy owls living and breeding around the Arctic Circle provides
camouflage from both predators and prey. In this Element, we
explore a variety of such outcomes of the evolutionary process,
including both adaptations and alternatives to adaptations, such as
nonadaptive traits inherited from ancestors. We also explore how
the concept of adaptation is used in evolutionary psychology and in
animal behavior, and the adequacy of methods used to confirm
evolutionary accounts of human traits and behaviors.
