You asked for examples of NATURAL SELECTION.....not EVOLUTION.

Natural selection is merely having a trait, mostly a genetic trait but some are behavioral, that makes it more likely you will pass on your genes to your offspring, thereby changing the percentage of that trait in a population....typically a trait that makes you more likely to attract a mate or more likely to survive to reproductive age.

Continue your rant.

No I asked for examples of evolution, NEW additions that never before existed. IMPROVEMENTS

You can call that a "rant" all you like.

Animals changing colors in the fall is NOT evolution.

My dog grows thicker fur every fall for the winter. Then he sheds it all in the spring, making a big mess, causing a major investment in vaccum cleaner bags.

But guess what? He's still a dog. He hasn't evolved into a monkey, a deer, a horse (although he's as big as a small horse)

In short, what you call "natural selection" isn't evolution. "Adaptation" is only using what already existed, what was part of the design to begin with.
