He is considered by many to be the father of the Theory of Evolution, though his uncle and Lamark had the genesis of that idea.
What is the mechanism that causes evolution. Both knew evolution occurred and occurs but did not know how or why. Lamark's " desire to evolve " and " acquired characteristics " failed to explain evolution. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was the better explanation.
Darwin introduced the modern theory of evolution by natural selection, but it was also introduced by Lamark and other earlier biologists but Darwin was first to theorize about natural selection as the mechanism.

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, a French scientist, was one of the first to propose a comprehensive theory of evolution in the early 19th century. He suggested that organisms can adapt to their environment through the inheritance of acquired characteristics.
