Why is Darwinian evolution referred to as The Great Synthesis?

Darwin's work is referred to as The Great Synthesis because, to build his theory of evolution, Darwin used ideas from other scientists such as Malthus, Lyell, Lamarck, Mendel, Linnaeus, (and probably a few others that I'm forgetting... that geology guy that talked about gradualism?). Anyway, Darwin stands apart from these men because he managed to compile a ton of evidence supporting his hypotheses, and created a coherent theory! So, it's a "synthesis" because he brought lots of facts and ideas together to make his most famous book, "On the Origin of Species."

True or false Darwin observed variations among individuals within a population but he did not realize that these variations were caused by selective breeding?

True, Darwin did realize that the observed variations among individuals within a population were caused by selective breeding. Although he did do a lot of great stuff. He wrote a book called The Origin of Species. You should check it out if you would like to find out the stuff that he did and what he found out about evolution. Either that or rent a book from a library about evolution.

When did charles Darwin theorize evolution?

Charles Darwin sailed on the HMS Beagle in the 1820's. The classical story is that his experience of the animals and plants of South America and the Galapagos (such as iguanas, tortoises and finches) suggested to him that species were not as fixed as many had assumed. Upon his return to England, he collated and gathered much evidence for change of living organisms (across time), eventually publishing his ideas in 1859 in his famous work On the Origin of Species. Organismal change had been hypothesised before Darwin even set out on the HMS Beagle. However it was Darwin who gathered the evidence that first showed change was indisputable and that Evolution was indeed a worthy hypothesis after all. Darwin's great addition were the suggestions of the mechanisms of Natural Selection and Sexual Selection in evolution.

What opinion did Emma Darwin have about Charles Darwin's work?

Emma was a religious woman. She was disturbed by his theory. But she loved him and was proud of his accomplishments. Charles Darwin was a great father, His many children were involved in his work. He would take them on collecting expeditions in the vast grounds of his home. His children loved him, and this must have made Emma happy. There is evidence that one of the reasons Darwin spent years delaying the publication of his book on evolution, was because he was afraid this would upset his wife. But eventually he was forced to publish.

What are the doctrines of evolution?

There are no ' doctrines ' of evolution. Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains, to a great degree, this fact. The theory is supported by mountains of evidence, from fossils to molecular genetics. Science does not have doctrines.
