Darwin developed The theory of evolution by natural selection.So, to answer you question, all of it!You need to make a distinction between evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, and natural selection, the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms. Natural selection is the main driver of evolution.
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution as published in his book On the Origin of Species states that all organisms on earth develop through the process of natural selection. Small variations from one generation to the next increase an individual's ability to compete for resource, mates, and general survival.
At the time that Darwin published his work the theory of genetic transfer of characteristics by Gregor Mendel had not been published. As a consequence genetic theory, mutations, recessive characteristics and allof those issues would be unknown.
Entranceway at Main Street at Darwin Drive was created in 1927.
There are four main tenets of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. They are the idea that with each generation individuals are produced that can survive, the concept that phenotypic variation exists, those with heritable traits for a specific environment have the ability to survive in that environment, and the idea that new species form during reproductive isolation.
Animal evolution is not a linear set of rules or stages, but rather a branching process. Main principles include that mutations occur in a species and are tested by the environment, and the successful mutations live long enough to be passed down to offspring and continue through the gene pool. This is Darwin's theory of natural selection.
Abiogenesis, or more commonly known as the origin of life itself, is not part of Darwin's theory of evolution.
