Hi
Contrary to many assumptions, evolutionary theory did not begin in 1859 with Charles Darwin and "The Origin of Species".
Evolutionary type ideas had existed since the times of the Greeks, and had been in and out of favor in the periods between ancient Greece and Victorian England.
By Darwin's time the idea of evolution - called "descent with modification" - or information gathered was not especially controversial, and several other evolutionary theories had already been proposed.
Darwin's theories and observations may stand at the beginning of a modern tradition, but he is also considered the final culmination of an ancient speculation.
