(1) Variations are heritable and make resource utilisation better for few will enable only those to reproduce and leave more progeny
(2) Population size will grow exponentially if everybody reproduced maximally.
(3) Natural resources are limited yet populations are stable in size except for seasonal fluctuations.
(4) Members of populations vary in characteristics.
