Best Answer

Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin did not "discover" evolution. It was an explanation for the changes that he believed had taken place in species of animals he encountered on his five year voyage on the HMS Beagle. He developed that theory over time into his "Origin of Species" which explained that all modern life shared a common ancestor and how animals change to give rise to new species.

Who discovered sun?

In evolution, the sun was discovered by the first of the human evolutionary stages to develop eyes, who was intelligent enough to recognize light and objects. This man is not known. Probably an ape man. In creationism, the sun was discovered by Adam, the first man. If you are asking who discovered that the sun was the center of the solar system, then ask it. If you are asking who discovered the sun was round, ask it. Be more specific.

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.
