It isn't easy at all and even scientists are struggling with the concept 
in its details. However, see it as a kind of continuous ironing out of 
extremes. The dominant trait prevails and all the others (which are 
still present somehow) are gradually (re-)absorbed or just disappear 
because they are out-competed. There are as many ways in which this can 
happen as nature can imagine (and nature is imaginative) and most happen 
anyway at the molecular level through the gene flow.
