According to the natural selection theory, individuals of a species have variations. In a geometrically growing population, there is always a scarcity of resources which leads to the struggle for existence. Those who survive will produce more offspring as they are fit; this is also known as survival of the fittest.
Darwin did not tae mutations as to be off any significance in creation of new species and the the idea of inheritance of acquired charcaters was a Lamarckian concept and not Darwinian.
