The Industrial Revolution caused pepper moths to adapt to a darker color due to the soot and ash everywhere so that they could hide from predators better, which made the black to gray moth ratio pull towards black. After the Industrial Revolution was over however then the black peppered moths numbers started to decrease and the grayish peppered moths number began to increase. This is evidence of adaptation.
The population of light-colored moths decreased and the population of dark-colored moths increased.
