In a way it is a tautology. People expect there to be a force forcing

reproduce themselves, and some things do not, and that is the natural
selection, right there.

Some dogs reproduce others don't,

Two dogs walk up to a road. One walks into traffic and gets run over.
The other waits for the cars to go by, and lives to have puppies.
Those puppies are descended from a dog that understood the danger of
cars. This is natural selection.

what has this got to do with getting
naturaled ?

You are only allowed to make up new words if they contribute to
understanding, if they say something better than other words. You
should learn to use ordinary words properly before coining neologisms.

Darwin could have called it "humanless breeding", "environmental
filtering", or any number of other inelegant or obscure terms. He
didn't.
