Natural selection can't acount for changes. According to webster's dictionary, NS is

a natural process that results in the survival and reproductive success of individuals or groups best adjusted to their environment and that leads to the perpetuation of genetic qualities best suited to that particular environment

NS cannot does not change anything, all it does is select that which is best adapted. If beneficial changes happened, NS would probably keep them, but NS wouldn't be responsible for the change.P.S. I'm not sure if you were saying that NS changes things, but I wanted to make sure it was clear. Apoligies if I set up a pointless strawman

Ok. Sorry about the strawman
