Responsible for publishing work in the 18th + 19th century which provided both inspiration and support for natural selection.
Malthus published "An Essay on the Principles of Population" in 1798. Although not concerned with natural selection or evolutionary processes, Malthus put forward the argument that populations in nature will grow exponentially while resources (food) remain relatively stable. His suggestion then, is that population growth is limited by the amoount of resources available. This essay inspired both Darwin and his contemporary, Wallace.
Lyell, a respected geologist, published a book "Principles of Geology". In this work, Lyell refined and demonstrated the argument for uniformitarianism; the idea that the earth's features are a result of long term processes that continue today as they did in the past. This idea of gradual change reinforced Darwin's ideas and observations of natural selection in animal populations, while more importantly Lyell's observations vastly changed concepts of how old the earth was. With these new estimates, the time frame for natural selection was established, and Darwin's theories of gradual change over long periods of time were realised.
a valid scientific theory.
Evolution is a theory, not fact!
Malthus described the effects of a rising human population and a limited supply of food, leading to the "Malthusian catastrophe" in which there were too many people and not enough food. Darwin applied this to all populations and saw that resources (or lack thereof) limit survival.
In a nutshell, the works of James Hutton and Charles Lyell served to show Darwin that evolution actually took place. Based on their notions that the earth was consistently changing, Darwin saw that living things were evolving too.
He helped him when he Darwin was studying the theory of earth.
Modern animals may be related to fossilized organisms.
He wanted to learn whether you can possibly change the whole species following that specific pigeon into a new species of pigeon.

Charles Darwin attended the University of Edinburgh in 1825 at the age of 16, where he studied medicine. He later transferred to the University of Cambridge in 1828 to study theology.
He read his Bible and practiced zoophilia.whenever the opportunity presented itself.
Charles Darwin was a British naturalist ,a person who studies the natural world. His job was to learn as much as he could about living things he saw on the places he landed in on his voyage. The blue bobby in the Galapagos Islands, in Ecuador is a great example of what he had to acheive.

Darwin learned that if the Earth could change over time, life could change over time as well. He realized it would have taken many, many years for life to change in the way he suggested.

The website Zig Ideas is a computer programming site. They seem to be down at the time, but when they get the site fixed one can learn about programming.
