Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace independently came up with evolution around about the same time. Darwin was the one to gain the first evidence for it, and suggested the process of natural selection as the driver of evolution.
The theory of evolution was formulated by Charles Darwin in the mid-19th century, with his seminal work "On the Origin of Species" published in 1859. Darwin proposed the concept of natural selection as the mechanism driving the process of evolution.
Darwin claimed it was the process of natural selection that drove evolution. However this is incomplete, without both a process that creates variation and the process of natural selection evolution could not work. There are many processes that create variation (e.g. mutation, crossover, transformation, infection, conjugation, polyploidy).
The theory of evolution by natural selection. Sexual selection. Just to name the two most important contributions of Charles Darwin.
Charles Darwin did not personally grow legs. Darwin's theory of evolution explains how organisms, over many generations, can develop adaptations, including the growth of legs or other bodily features, through natural selection and the process of evolution.
