Who came up with theory of evolution?

Although we may not be able to say who first defined evolution as the means by which new species arise, we do know that early pioneers of evolution theories include Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Lamarck. Charles Darwin (1809-1892) was not the first to study evolution, but he was the first to recognise the role of natural selection in evolution. He defined the process by which evolution occurs as being natural selection, in his Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.
