If there's only one of a lifeform and it is immortal, can variation and natural selection still operate somehow? 🤔

Not so simple. There's variants, 'generations' in the recursive breakdown structure of a multicellular critter. 2 arms, 2 sets of teeth...

Immortality obviates natural selection, which is predicated on orgs being better/worse suited to survival & reproduction in an environment.
