Perhaps the earliest documentation of evolution can be traced to Xenophanes (b. 570 BC). He recognized that the rock in which the fossils were found had at one time been submerged mud. He explained theexistence of fossils by saying that the world evolved from a mixture of earth and water. It was long recognized that older layers of fossile-bearing rock contained different, more primitive forms of life than later layers, but no scientific consensus explaining how this happened was found until Origin Of Species was published by Charles Darwin (b. 1809) in 1859. Darwin proposed the mechanism of survival of the fittest, but had no knowledge of genetics. Biologist and monk Johann Gregor Mendel (b. 1822), whose work was ignored during his life, proposed a mechanism for heredity by hypothesizing that traits, such as eye color or height or flower hues, were carried by tiny particles that were inherited whole in the next generation. DNA was first isolated by the Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher (b. 1844) in 1869, and in 1953 James D. Watson (b. 1928) and Francis Crick (b. 1916) suggested what is now accepted as the first correct double-helix model of DNA.

What would it be like if Charles Darwin didn't make his discovery?
Someone else would have made the same conclusions. Darwin was building on the work of others. Alfred Russel Wallace also developed the same theory, independently of Darwin so, eventually, it would have been written up and published.
Has anyone helped Charles Darwin in the past?
Darwin wrote a lot of letters in his discovery-adventure, finding the secrets of his new hypothesis: Natural Selection. He gained insight from scientists, naturalists and biologists all over the world. Help would have been most welcome from Gregor Mendel, giving Darwin insight into non-blending genetics. But Darwin perhaps knew nothing of Mendel's work. What 'helped' Darwin quite a lot was a letter from Wallace, delineating a discovery of Wallace that was pretty much the same as Darwin's discovery: that of Natural Selection. This letter got Darwin going, to finish his book On the Origin of Species and have it published.
