I would not want to argue that with these definitions, "natural selection" proves evolution.

That's the mechanism for change. Just add eons of time and you have variation from the original which is radical enough to cause humans to classify them into a different species. Long enough time and classification into a different genus. Long enough time and classification into a different family, etc.
