∙ 9y agoOther naturalists at that time believed that all species remained much the same throughout time and came into being at the beginning of the Earth.
Darwin, however, noticed similarities among species all over the globe (as he traveled), along with variations based on specific locations, leading him to believe that they had gradually evolved from common ancestors.
He came to believe that species survived through a process called natural selection, where species that successfully adapted to meet the changing environment of their natural habitat thrived, while those that failed to evolve and reproduce died off.
