The principle of natural selection proposed by Darwin does not include the idea that a characteristic can be passed from one generation to the next without being recorded in the genes. On the contrary, the principle of natural selection is based on the idea that advantageous genetic variations are passed on to offspring and become more common within a population over time. This involves changes in the genetic makeup of a population, rather than the transmission of non-genetic traits.
