Detailed explanation-1: -Charles Darwin: Naturalist, Revolutionary, and Father of Evolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Darwin’s analysis of the plants and animals he gathered led him to question how species form and change over time. This work convinced him of the insight that he is most famous for-natural selection.
Detailed explanation-4: -Charles Darwin, in full Charles Robert Darwin, (born February 12, 1809, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England-died April 19, 1882, Downe, Kent), English naturalist whose scientific theory of evolution by natural selection became the foundation of modern evolutionary studies.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
