<human>:  How does the process of natural selection work in the modern world?
<bot>: In the modern world, the process of natural selection works by favoring certain traits in organisms that enable them to better survive in their environment. This means that organisms with the most beneficial characteristics for that particular environment are more likely to survive, reproduce and pass on their traits to the next generation. Through this process, the traits that help organisms survive and reproduce become more prevalent in the population, leading to evolutionary change. In the modern world, natural selection also plays a role in managing populations by acting as a form of population control, ensuring that populations can grow and thrive at sustainable levels.
