Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that living things maintain life due to evolutionary adaptation driven by natural selection?

Yes. Living organisms maintain and diversify their life functions through evolutionary adaptation, which is fundamentally driven by natural selection acting on genetic variation.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 7 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the established biological consensus that adaptation in living things is driven by natural selection. Multiple papers provide empirical and theoretical evidence showing how natural selection shapes genomes, physiological traits, and organismal design in response to environmental pressures.
