Alfred Russel Wallace.
Alfred Russel Wallace independently developed the theory of evolution by natural selection, which was very similar to Charles Darwin's ideas. Wallace and Darwin jointly published a scientific paper on the subject in 1858.
Evolution and convergent evolution both involve changes in organisms over time. However, convergent evolution specifically refers to the independent evolution of similar traits in unrelated species in response to similar environmental challenges.
The developers of the theory of evolution by natural selection were Charles Robert Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace.
Convergent evolution is the type of evolution in which unrelated organisms independently evolve similarities when adapting to similar environments. This can result in different species developing similar traits or characteristics as a result of facing similar selective pressures.
Convergent evolution is when unrelated organisms develop similar traits or characteristics due to living in similar environments. This can result in analogous structures that serve the same function but have different evolutionary origins.

Charles Robert Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace developed similar and almost simultaneous theories of evolution by natural selection.
The great Charles Darwin is most credited with the theory of evolution, but there were many before him that had similar ideas, and many people since have advanced the science of evolution.
I think the attribution you are looking for is "Darwins' theory of evolution". He wrote several books hypothesizing his theories, the most pertinent to your question being "Origin of Species". You might also want to look up something called the "kalisto effect"... It is a theory based on a similar principal, but in which, occasionally evolution takes makes a giant step and creates a short lived, but particularly efficient abhoritional species

An example of convergent evolution in the tundra is the similar physical adaptations seen in Arctic foxes and North American red foxes. Both species have evolved thick fur, compact bodies, and small ears to survive in the cold tundra environment. Despite not being closely related, they have developed these shared traits due to the similar selective pressures of the harsh tundra climate. This convergence highlights how different species can independently evolve similar characteristics to thrive in the same ecological niche.
