So the species can reproduce and survive.

WRONG!!

Adaptions are of no use to a species as adaptions are the result of adaptive change which is the purview of natural selection and only INDIVIDUALS are selected. The adaptions of individuals help them to survive and, more importantly, have reproductive success over conspecifics in the immediate environment.

Then alleles are changed over time in the population and evolution occurs, but the adaption is an individual process that leads to wide allele change and progeny having the adaption.

Remember, individuals are selected while populations evolve.
