Theory of evolution:
Charles Robert Darwin
proposed the Theory of Evolution.
Evolution is defined as the gradual change of heritable characters in species over time.
Darwin proposed theory in his famous book “Origin of Species by Natural selection” published in 1859.
He discovered his theory while working on Galpaogas Archipelago Island on Finches with different shapes of beaks over different geographical areas.
