Detailed explanation-1: -Charles Darwin: Naturalist, Revolutionary, and Father of Evolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the mid-1800s, Charles Darwin famously described variation in the anatomy of finches from the Galapagos Islands.
Detailed explanation-3: -He gave the theory of natural selection for evolution and established that the current species of organisms have all originated from common ancestral species.
Detailed explanation-4: -Darwin proposed that species can change over time, that new species come from pre-existing species, and that all species share a common ancestor. In this model, each species has its own unique set of heritable (genetic) differences from the common ancestor, which have accumulated gradually over very long time periods.
