Szelekció

Szelekció is a Hungarian term that translates to "selection" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of biological evolution, referring to the process by which organisms with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This natural selection leads to the gradual adaptation of populations over time.

In a broader sense, szelekció can also describe any process of choosing or picking out specific items or individuals from a larger group based on certain criteria. This might include the selection of candidates for a job, the selection of materials for a construction project, or the selection of songs for a playlist. The underlying principle remains the same: a deliberate or natural filtering process based on desired characteristics.

The concept of szelekció is fundamental to understanding how diversity arises and is maintained in both natural and artificial systems. It highlights the importance of variation within a population and the environmental pressures or selection criteria that determine which variations become more prevalent.
