plz provide some detailed info on charles darwin and the theory of evolution
Charles Darwin was an English natural scientist who formulated the theory of evolution by natural selection on studying variation in plants and animals. He put forward his theories and ideas in a book called, ‘the Origin of Species'. Darwin's theory of evolution states that different species have evolved from simple life forms. Living organisms have descended with modifications from their ancestor species. Individuals that are poorly adapted to their environment are less likely to survive and reproduce and may become extinct. Individuals with characteristics most suited to the environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This means that their genes are less likely to be passed to their offspring i.e. they are heritable.
