Why was variation the weakest concept in Darwin's theory?

Variation?!?! That was an obvious observation of naturalists that opposed Darwin's concepts totally. Unless you mean the heritability that leads to variation? Explaining that variation was the problem. Creationists of the time explained this by positing god's whimsy in designing his species, but this was shown to be nonsense as natural processes are at work in variation and this can be shown experimentally. The concept of natural selection explained how that natural variation was selected on beneficial traits. What Darwin did not understand is how that variation was passed on to progeny. His explanation was wrong.

Which two important factors was Darwin unable to explain without an understanding heredity?

First, he had no idea how heritable traits pass from one generation to the next. Second, although variation in heritable traits was central to Darwin's theory, he had no idea how that variation appeared.


What does it mean when Darwin saw that variation exists within a species?

When studying and proving the theory of evolution, Darwin notice that variations existed within species. Species includes organisms that are closely related and can mate to produce fertile offspring. Variation is a difference. Darwin noticed that there were more than one organism inside a species.
