hi dear!!
Charles Darwin is known as the father of evolution due to his contribution to the establishment of the theory of evolution.-
1) As per Darwin’s theory, only the higher changes are naturally selected and the lower ones are eliminated. Thus, not all the adaptations contribute to a progressive evolution.
2) Almost all organisms share common ancestry with some organism. According to Darwin, all organisms had one common ancestor at some point in time and kept on diverging ever since.
3) He also studied that the birds of Galapagos Island (Darwin’s finches) developed different beaks as per the availability of the food. This proved adaptive radiation. Similarly, he also observed the Australian Marsupials which showed a number of marsupials emerging from an ancestor.
4) According to Charles Darwin, evolution is a very slow and gradual process. He concluded that evolution took place over a very long period of time.
