Genetic drift
Genetic drift is a contributing factor in biological evolution, in which traits which do not affect reproductive fitness change in a population over time. Whereas natural selection causes traits to become more prevalent when they contribute to fitness, or eliminates those which harm it, genetic drift is a somewhat random process which affects traits that are more neutral.
