Final answer:

Natural selection favors beneficial traits in individuals, while evolution encompasses the genetic changes in a population over time.


Explanation:

Natural selection refers to a process where individual organisms possessing favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the proliferation of those traits in a population. On the other hand, evolution is the broader concept of any change in the genetic makeup of a population over time. While natural selection is a driving force of evolution, it is not the only mechanism at play. Mutation also plays a key role in introducing novel traits and behaviors in populations.
