Lesson Summary. In summary, directional selection is a type of natural selection in which individuals with a trait at one end of a phenotypic spectrum are most fit. Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection in which individuals at either end of a phenotypic spectrum are most fit.Stabilizing selection is a type of selection in which individuals in the middle of a phenotypic spectrum are most fit.esson Summary. In summary, directional selection is a type of natural selection in which individuals with a trait at one end of a phenotypic spectrum are most fit. Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection in which individuals at either end of a phenotypic spectrum are most fit.
A different hypothesis is that the key events in human evolution were shaped not by any single type of habitat (e.g., grassland) or environmental trend (e.g., drying) but rather by environmental instability. This idea, developed by Dr. Rick Potts of the Human Origins Program, is called variability selection.
