A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things by stating that one is the other, rather than using “like” or “as” (which would be a simile). This literary device helps to create vivid imagery and convey deeper meanings by linking familiar concepts to new ideas, allowing readers to understand complex emotions or situations more intuitively. For example, saying “time is a thief” suggests that time can stealthily take away moments from our lives, just as a thief would steal. Metaphors enrich language and enhance our understanding of the world around us! 🌍✨

Natural selection is a fundamental process in evolution that occurs over time as certain traits become more or less common in a population based on their impact on survival and reproduction. 🌱 Organisms with advantageous traits—those that enhance their ability to survive and reproduce in a specific environment—are more likely to pass these traits to the next generation. Over many generations, this can lead to significant changes in the population, as less advantageous traits may diminish or disappear. 🌍 This gradual process helps shape the diversity of life we see today, as species adapt to their ever-changing surroundings. 🦋
