Evolutionary Theory of Darwin and Wallace

This section introduces the evolutionary theory of Darwin and Wallace, focusing on the concept of evolution through natural selection.

Charles Darwin's Contribution

• In 1809, Charles Darwin revolutionized the study of evolution, becoming known as the father of modern biology.

• Darwin embarked on a five-year voyage aboard HMS Beagle to the Galapagos Islands, where he studied finches' beak variations, linking them to adaptation and survival.

Alfred Wallace's Role

• Alfred Wallace independently proposed natural selection during his travels in South America and Malaysia.

• In 1858, Wallace and Darwin jointly published a paper on evolution through natural selection after exchanging ideas.

Key Points of Evolutionary Theory

This section outlines five essential points regarding biological variability and natural selection in evolutionary theory.

• Biological variability within populations leads to competition for resources.

• More offspring are produced than can survive due to limited resources.

• Individuals with adaptive traits have better survival chances.

• Over generations, more individuals possess adaptive characteristics.
