Darwin might explain his theory of evolution through natural selection, which posits that organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce in their environment. Over time, these traits become more common within a population, leading to gradual changes in species. This theory emphasizes the importance of variation, competition, and adaptation in the natural world, illustrating how species evolve in response to their surroundings.

What is Darwin Wallace theory?
It seems there might be a mix-up in the name; you may be referring to the theory of evolution by Charles Darwin, which explains how species evolve over time through natural selection. Darwin proposed that individuals with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those advantageous traits to future generations. This process leads to gradual changes in species and the emergence of new ones. If you meant a different theory or individual, please provide more context.
How was lamarks theory of evolution different than Darwin's theory?
Lamarck's theory of evolution proposed that traits acquired during the lifetime of the parent were genetically passed on to children. Some animal might, according to Lamarck's theory, learn a novel way of obtaining food, and then its children would be born with this novel mechanism already in place. Darwin, contrarily, proposed that lineages evolved new traits though natural selection: by the elimination of lineages that do *not* possess a certain trait.
What did things did charles darwin discover?
He didn't discover much other than the interesting variations in the shapes of the Galapagos finches' beaks. He formulated the famous Theory of Evolution, however, which might answer the question.
Why did scientists reject Lamark's idea of evolution?
Lamarck led the way for and had ideas that helped Darwin. However, his observations regarding the mechanisms of evolution were, with the exception of one, totally backwards. To summarize Lamarck, he hypothesized that organisms somehow had a choice in their traits and could change to fit the environment (he called these ideas his theories of need and his theory of use and disuse). The part he was correct on was that should an organism change, they would pass the traits on to their offspring. Darwin said, basically, the opposite. Darwin observed that organisms were born with slight differences (variations) and those variations might give some members of a species an advantage in the struggle to survive in the environment. The reward for survival was that the organism got to reproduce and pass those traits on to their offspring. Of course, the offspring might show some variation and the whole process would continue to repeat. However, the bottom line with Darwin (and contrary to Lamarck) was that an organism had no choice in its traits as an organism is born with or without the advantage. Darwin, without knowing its mechanisms, recognized that genetics played a part in evolution. Darwin died not knowing of Mendel's work on genetics which, of course, substantiates Darwin's theory.
What did Darwin hypothesize about the funches?
It seems there might be a typo in your question regarding "funches." If you meant "finches," Darwin hypothesized that the various species of finches he observed in the Galápagos Islands evolved from a common ancestor. He suggested that their differences in beak shapes and sizes were adaptations to different food sources available on the islands, illustrating his theory of natural selection. This observation played a crucial role in the development of his ideas on evolution.
Which theory sounds like an explanation that Darwin might give?
Darwin might give an explanation based on the theory of natural selection, which suggests that organisms best adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their advantageous traits to future generations. This theory forms the core of Darwin's theory of evolution.
Which and why theory sound like an explanation that Bismarck might give?
Which theory sound like an explanation that Bismarck might give
Which theory sounds like an explanation that Lamarck might give?
Giraffes have long necks because their ancestors stretched their necks reaching for food, and this trait was passed on their offspring.
Is a theory a prediction?
No, a theory is not a prediction. A theory is a well-supported explanation for a phenomenon based on evidence and research, while a prediction is a statement about what might happen in the future based on the theory.
What is known as the fittest is Darwin's explanation for diversity in nature?
'Evolution of the fittest by natural evolution' is attributed to Darwin and Wallace. An alternate phrasing might be 'Failure of the least-fit by ... ', which equally (or better) explains the results.
Would Darwin have developed his theory of evolution if he had not read the works of Lyell and Malthus?
He might not of if Malthus had not been around but he depended on the works of Lyell.
What is the reason that a theory might be replaced with a new theory?
a theory is an explanation to a specific question being studied. it has been tested many times. it might be replaced with a new theory because new information come and so the past information will be improved.
Can a theory be true or false?
Yes. If you have a theory about how things work, it might turn out to be true or it might turn out to be false. The more you know about the subject, the stronger the theory is likely to be, and the likelier it is that the theory will be proven.
Was darwin's theory correct?
Yes, yes it was. As far as we know though, in years to come, someone might find the possibility of it being incorrect, but if it ever happens, it will be a while.
Why is Darwin more famous than Wallace in the explanation of evolution?
The reason the focus, or major credit goes to Darwin is, though they both realized the principles of evolution, Wallace's presentation was little more than the realization. Darwin had had the realization and spent almost twenty years documenting and exploring the relations and complexities of said theory. Wallace himself had no difficulty with Darwin receiving the majority of the credit. Wallace had sent Darwin his paper on the topic, which kind of shocked Darwin that some one else might scoop his idea, he decided to present his idea to the Royal Society, and when he did so, he presented at the same time Wallace's paper, a very gracious thing to do on Darwins part. Wallace was at the time totally unaware of what was happening and only learned after the fact that he was presented to the Royal Society as co-discoverer of, The Theory Of Evolution By Natural Selection.
