Answer:

The thing is, natural selection works on a population over generations because individuals that do better in the environment (we would say they are favored by natural selection) tend to have more babies, causing changes in the gene pool. An individual is not a gene pool, it's simply a part of one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection causes changes in populations because of the differential reproductive success of genetically varied individuals.
