Darwin

Charles Darwin was a 19th-century naturalist who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. He proposed that species gradually change over generations through small genetic variations. Individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing these traits to future generations. Over time, this process can lead to the emergence of new species. Darwin's ideas revolutionized our understanding of life's diversity and the way species adapt to their environments. His work emphasized that all living organisms are connected through a common ancestry and that evolution is a natural, ongoing process.
