Lucas' Chapter 1 Post

In chapter one the book referred to several things we learned in Bio 1, one of these being evolution. One of the biggest parts of evolution is adaptation, "adaptation is any genetically determined characteristic that has been selected for and that occurs in a large part of the population because it increases an individuals chance of reproducing successfully." as defined by the book. My question is: Why is adaptation so important to the survival of a species?
