Back in Darwin's day, people had figured out that species evolve, but the problem of why they did had not been figured out. Darwin's hypothesis was that those organisms who were more fit were the ones that survived, so with time the population became more like those which were most fit. Here "fit" means best able to reproduce and support the offspring. His contribution to modern science is that now all biologists consider the evolutionary importance of something when they are attempting to explain it.

only about 70 years of his adult life devoted to unraveling mysteries of how life EVOLVES! You fundies make me so mad sometimes. What have you done to contribute to humanity? Maybe you should try looking towards the future instead of focusing on the past for your misinformation. These myths are really holding us back.

The obvious fact that people who are fit enough to adapt to their surroundings and situations will survive the onslaught of deadly change, while the less fortunate one dies out - "The survival of the fittest" rule. But even this is being contested, so I guess it was nothing except going and running aound in Madagascar and killing weird animals and stuffing them ad bring them back to his home country.
