"It is a biological process that leads a population to have a widespread expression of an advantageous trait."

Natural selection changes allele/trait frequencies in populations over generations, increasing the prevalence of heritable traits that confer higher fitness. It acts on variation among individuals, but evolution (not selection) occurs at the population level.
