Natural selection means that organisms that have the most favorable traits survive, prosper, and maintain those favorable traits. In the novel The Time Machine ,the time traveller comes up with three theories to how the people of the future evolved. The first theory is that the Eloi are the sole descendents of humanity. He assumes that scientific progress continued to make life easy for humans so much that it made them lazy and less able to survive harsh conditions. The Elois will be the only species that won't survive because of the time traveler's first theory. Because the time travellers theory was that they evolved into much lazier and stupid humans natural selection won't be in there favor and they will soon die off because they cannot fight.
His second theory is after he discovers the morlocks, he thinks they were the slaves of the Elois. He still feels that the Elois have evolved into frail creatures because life was too easy for them. But he also believes that the Morlocks have evolved into brute workers. Because of this the Morlocks will play a huge role in natural selection because they have evolved into such strong workers that they are more then …show more content…
Whenever a Morlock came close to him he would then light a match and these strange creatures would run away. In nature, organisms are limited in their ability to survive, based on how their surrounding climate changes. That being said because the Morlocks live underground and are so use to nothing but the dark, light which is something they know very little of is there weakness. They evolved to adapt to the darkness and so the light, would make them vulnerable. In their surroundings undergrounds they are very strong and that is where they will continue to survive. When it comes to hunting they will only come out at night. Because they have evolved in that way underground being in light will always be their
