What were Charles Darwin's accomplishments to Science?

Answer 1

Darwin established the theory of natural selection (evolution). On the Galapagos Islands he was fairly free to walk among animals previously unexposed to humans, thus seeing him as no threat. He observed: (1) more offspring were produced than would survive based on the available resources (food, water, space), (2) the offspring varied in form and had a range of characteristics, (3) the offspring would compete for the available resources. Darwin concluded that the creatures that were best suited to a particular environment would survive long enough to reproduce and pass their characteristics to a new generation. This is evolution. "Survival of the fittest" is actually shortened from the phrase, "survival of the fittest in a particular environment". Individual creatures don't evolve. Species evolve. A species is a group of organisms capable of breeding and producing offspring. Evolution drives the creation of new species. No organism is more or less evolved than another. One organism may be more suited to survive in a particular environment.

Answer 2

He founded the theory of evolution, and made many studies on the Galapagos islands.

Answer 3

Darwin wrote 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection' and is now (although Alfred Russell Wallace had the same idea) acknowledged as the propounder of the Theory of Evolution.

Answer 4

His studies as a geologist solved the puzzle of the formation of coral atolls. Charles Darwin came up with the idea of Natural Selection.

Answer 5

he sailed the galapogos islands and created the evolution.

Answer 6

Charles Darwin's accomplishments are significant. the one I'm really familiar with is the "theory of evolution"

Answer 7

He developed the theory of evolution, something that totally changed the way humans thought about how we came to be. Before his theory the common belief was that god had created mankind.
