How does natural selection lead to evolution of a population?

Natural selection states that the organism that has the most efficient adaptation to its environment will be the one to endure the longest. Those organisms less adapted will not live as long and have less opportunity to reproduce. Thus any adaptation that give an advantage is inherited by the next generation.
