Evolution is the change in allele frequencies in a population, while Natural Selection is the process by which more efficient alleles get passed on to later generations.

Evolution is a gradual change in the inherited traits of a population over many generations. Natural selection is a mechanism where the members of a population best suited to their environment have the best chance of surviving to pass on their genes.
