Darwinism is the theory of natural selection given by charles Darwin. He supported evolution by following principles:-
- Over production :- every organisms possess enormous fertility. They multiply in geometric ratio. But all of them do not survive.
- Limited food and space:- Despite of rapid multiplication of all types of species, food and space and resources remain limited. They are not liable to increase.
- Struggle for existence :- organism wil have struggle for their existence. It may be intraspecific, interspecific and environmental.
- Survival of fittest :- the organisms which are provided with favourable Haan would survive, because they are the fittest to face their surroundings while the unfits are destroyed or rejected by the nature.
- Inheritance of useful variations :- such useful variations are transmitted to the next generation while non-useful variations are eliminated.
- Formation of new species:- such useful variations appear more prominently in succeeding generations. And finally formation of new species takes place.
