Charles Darwin spent several decades formulating and confirming his Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, and did not publish it until he was quite certain about every detail. Of course, he is no longer alive, but he died convinced of the reliability of the Theory.

The weakest concept in Darwin's theory was variation why?

Variation was not the weakest concept in Darwin's theory. In fact, variation is a key component of natural selection, as it provides the raw material for evolution to work on. Individual variations within a population allow some organisms to survive and reproduce more successfully than others, leading to changes in the gene pool over time.


How did Darwin think evolution occurred?

Darwin thought evolution occurred in short periods of rapid change. For example, when he traveled to the Galapagos he observed how different species on each island had various characteristics that helped them adapt to their environment. From this you can infer that Darwin's belief was punctuated equilibrium.


What do you think of the theory of evolution?

It does not mater what anyone thinks about the theory of evolution by natural selection. The theory of evolution by natural selection is the best explanation we have for much of the observed and observable fact of evolution. The theory is internally consistent with the fact of evolution, it is supported by myriad lines of converging evidence and it generates testable predictions in the form of scientific hypothesis. The opinion of no one is needed by the theory of evolution by natural selection and educated people have come to accept the theory.


Was Charles Darwin trying to explain how life began?

No, Charles Darwin was not focused on explaining how life began. His theory of evolution through natural selection aimed to explain how species change over time based on the process of adaptation to their environment. The origin of life itself is a separate field of study known as abiogenesis.


Which scientist was the creationist of organic evolution?

This is an interesting question. I think I know the answer to this: Carl Linnaeus. He was the first scientist to realize that he could not establlish any system of biological classification that did not include humans in the taxon of apes.

How did Charles Darwin influence Gregor Mendel?

He did not influence Darwin and Darwin did not know who he was. Darwin's ' blending theory of inheritance ' was wrong and though Darwin did not particularly like the theory he could think of nothing better to explain inheritance. There is a legend that Darwin had a copy of Mendel's work in his desk but could not read it because it was in German. Just a legend, though.


Did Darwin Repent?

If you're asking did Darwin have a "death bed" conversion, then the answer is no. The story originated from Lady Hope who claimed he had such a conversion. Darwin's daughter, who was present at Darwin's death, said that not only was Lady Hope not present, she didn't think that Darwin had ever met Lady Hope.


Who was a confidant of Darwin who introduced the concept of evolution into geological theory?

I think you mean the concept of gradualism and the man is Charles Lyell, whose geological concept proceeded Darwin's biological concept and also gave Darwin his ideas on ages of the earth and gradual processes over time. I can think of not other geologist that was a confidant of Darwin, though Adam Sedgewick, a geologist, was am early teacher of Darwin. He was a catastrophist though.


Why is Charles Darwin a significant person?

Charles Darwin is most famous for having postulated the framework for modern theory of evolution. His theory successfully united specific observations (such as his famous observations regarding finches) and other suggestions about evolution, such as those of Lamarck. His work, written in the volumes of The Origin of Species, is one of the most significant factors in modern biology, as he suggested and researched the previously (for the most part) unaccepted notion that organisms change and evolve over time, becoming discernibly different organisms.


Who invented the theory of evoloution?
