What is "Cumulative Selection" and how does it work?



Having read Richard Dawkins' "The Blind Watchmaker", I would like to
get a better understanding of what "cumulative selection" theory is,
and how it is believed to work. Is it part of "mainstream" Darwinist
views, or is it only Dawkins' own idea?
Any leads to relevant information would be much appreciated!
