On the Origin of Species
Charles Darwin is most known for formulating the theory of Natural Selection. "Darwin believed that all of life on earth had descended from a common ancestor, whose offspring could vary slightly from the previous generation. Successive generations of life took part in a struggle for existence in which the best adapted variations survived to seed new generations. Less well adapted variations became extinct." -
Natural Selection
"I am fully convinced that species are not immutable; but that belonging to what are called the same genera are lineal descendants of some other and generally extinct species, in the same manner as the acknowledged varieties of any one species are the descendants of that species" (Darwin) -
What is the concept of Darwinism
Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection is complex but can be broken down simply. It is the theory that all living things have defended from one common ancestor, and only the strong survive. This applies still applies to us today, as humans we have been occupying more of the world, consuming more resources which is diminishing the environments of both the strong and fragile life on earth, leading to higher extinction rates among the more fragile species. -
