Evolution = mutation + natural selection = sexual reproduction + sexual selection For convenience of comprehension scientists use different words to describe identical actions. Amongst sexually reproducing organisms (”species”),
sexual selection = natural selection (no difference exists) and
mutation = sexual reproduction (no replication exists without permutation, since sex is itself a mutation of asexual reproduction.

Evolution = mutation + natural selection = sexual reproduction + sexual selection
For convenience of comprehension scientists use different words to describe identical actions.
