During the early 19th century, particularly before Charles Darwin's theory of evolution gained prominence, the generally accepted idea about species was that they were fixed and unchanging entities created by God. This concept of "species immutability" suggested that each species had a specific purpose and was designed to fit into a predetermined role within the ecosystem. Naturalists of the time, like Georges Cuvier, argued for the stability of species based on anatomical studies and the fossil record, which seemed to show distinct, unalterable forms.
The idea of bringing extinct species back to life, often referred to as de-extinction, raises ethical, ecological, and practical concerns. While it could enhance biodiversity and restore ecosystems, there are risks, including potential ecological disruption and the welfare of the resurrected species. Additionally, resources might be better allocated to conserving endangered species and habitats currently at risk. Ultimately, the decision should weigh the potential benefits against the unforeseen consequences.

Charles Darwin's greatest contribution to evolutionary theory was the concept of natural selection, which explains how species adapt and evolve over time. Through this mechanism, he proposed that individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the gradual evolution of species. This idea revolutionized the scientific understanding of how life diversifies and changes on Earth.

Everyone before Darwin (they all ignored animal breeding).
The concept of the "immutability of species" suggests that species are fixed and unchanging over time, as proposed by earlier naturalists before the theory of evolution. This idea was challenged by Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, which suggests that species can change over time through the process of natural selection.
The idea of immutability, particularly in the context of scientific theories, was significantly challenged by the work of Charles Darwin. His theory of evolution introduced the concept of natural selection, demonstrating that species change over time rather than being fixed. Additionally, advances in fields like genetics and paleontology further supported the idea that biological entities are not immutable but rather subject to change and adaptation. This shift fundamentally altered our understanding of life and its development on Earth.
Charles Darwin is the famous scientist who introduced the idea of natural selection through his theory of evolution in his book "On the Origin of Species." Darwin proposed that species that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the gradual change of species over time.
