Examples
An example of TAP can be compared to the theory of natural selection presented by Darwin in the section above. This means that if a certain species is “fitter” than the other species, then that fitter species is more likely to continue to adapt to future environmental situations. Lockhart, who refers to this phenomenon, suggests that if you compared a rabbit and a koala that a rabbit would thrive and survive in many environments whereas the koala has worked itself into a “narrow ecological niche.” This means the rabbit would excel at surviving because it has a wider range of flexible qualities. Of course you could argue that there would be certain areas that the koala would thrive in, but they are not as numerous as the survival qualities of the rabbit.
