No,
artificial selection would assume thought.
Natural selection is process that is guided by whatever bestows a survival or breeding advantage. It has no ultimate plan. If it works and the animal is able to breed, than the trait is passed on to subsequent generations. If not and the animal doesn't pass on it genetic mutations, than whatever mutations that animal had ends with the animal.
What dose nature ultimately select and why haven’t we seen any advancement in what we have.
There are many examples of evolution that has been observed. For that I, as others here have, would point you to a book on biology. An actual one not just crap read off the internet. I don't have enough time to eleborate as I have to go to work. I will try to get back to this post to expand if necessary.
Has nature maid her Ultimate selection?
There is no ultimate plan. The cycle of life, breeding and death is continous. So long as that is occuring than evolution is occuring.
