http://faculty.clintoncc.suny.edu/faculty/michael.gregory/files/bio%20101/bio%20101%20lectures/Natural%20Selection/natural.htm Natural selection occurs because Individuals within a population vary; they are not all identical. Some variants are "better" than others. As a result, they have more reproductive success. The traits that vary are heritable.
So, it's mostly due to the fact that there are variations among the population which makes some stronger than others. Survival of the fittest.

@SummerNS
1. Bipedal gait 2. free to use hands for tools or carring capacity 3. increase in cranial capacity
Natural selection occurs when individuals with certain traits survive to reproduce and pass on those traits to their offspring.
