Charles Darwin introduced the theory of evolution through natural selection, which posits that species evolve over time due to the survival and reproduction of individuals with advantageous traits. He emphasized the importance of variation within species and the role of environmental pressures in shaping these traits. Additionally, Darwin's work highlighted the interconnectedness of life forms, suggesting that all species share a common ancestor. His seminal work, "On the Origin of Species," laid the foundation for modern evolutionary Biology.
Charles Darwin was influenced by several key figures, including Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, whose ideas on evolution and inheritance laid foundational concepts for Darwin's theories. Thomas Malthus also played a significant role, as his writings on population growth and resource limitations prompted Darwin to consider natural selection as a mechanism for evolution. Additionally, Charles Lyell's principles of geology, emphasizing gradual change over time, helped Darwin understand the long timescales necessary for evolution to occur.
