Why did Darwin believe organisims evolved using natural selection instead of required traits?

One of the strongest reasons he had for thinking natural selection was the driving force of evolution in fact he started his book with this concept, was artificial selection. Breeders had long know that traits were heritable and they could select for the traits they wanted by just mating the favored organisms. From this example Darwin knew that acquired traits were neither heritable or selectable.

How is biogeography different then Darwin's theory?
It's not. Actually, biogeography, the geographic arrangement of convergent and divergently evolved species supports the theory of evolution by natural selection. Wallace, who really developed bio-geographic theory, first noticed this event well and incorporated it into his theory of evolution by natural selection, but this phenomenon did not escape Darwin's notice either.
