Natural selection occurs when a environment makes a individual adapt to that certain environment by variations that arise by mutation and genetic recombination. Also it favors certain …

…time scale and determine if a certain specie evolved from another specie. Radioactive dating is the best method for determining the age of rocks and fossils on a scale of absolute time. All fossils contain isotopes of elements that accumulated in the organisms when they were alive. By determining an isotope's half-life which is the number of years it takes for 50% of the original sample to decay, it is possible to determine the fossil's age.
