who is famous for the theory of evolution?

Answer 1

Well I might as well get on board, too.

Charles Darwin!

Answer 2

Charles Darwin is recognised for the theory of evolution, however, it is a misleading impression that that the theory of evolution sprang from his forehead fully formed without any precedent in scientific history. The raw material for Darwin's theory had been known for decades.

Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) the nineteenth-century naturalist quite independently came up with the same theory - and unbeknown to each other. However, Wallace’s support for spiritualism, phrenology, mesmerism, etc., excluded his acceptance by The Royal Society - and thus his "scientific credibility" was rejected.

Answer 6

Charles Robert Darwin.

Answer 7

Charles Darwin created his theory of evolution based on his travels to the galapigos islands on the HMS Beagle.

Answer 8

Charles Darwin. Science no longer believes in his theory, holus bolus, but parts of it are still considered sound. He developed his concept of evolution after a trip to Galapagos Island, where he saw what he believed to be the 'original' from which several living species descended. This is where science finds fault with his theory as some of his links were erroneous. They do not, however, decry the overall theory of evolution and mutation.
But always be aware that what Darwin propounded is a THEORY of evolution. Keep an open mind when dealing with theories, because they are simply one person's ideas about a subject and have neither been proven nor disproven.

Answer 9

Charles Robert Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist who achieved lasting fame by producing considerable evidence that species originated through evolutionary change, at the same time proposing the scientific theory that natural selection is the mechanism by which such change occurs. This theory is now considered a cornerstone of biology.

Darwin developed an interest in natural history while studying first medicine, then theology, at university. Darwin's observations on his five-year voyage on the Beagle brought him eminence as a geologist and fame as a popular author. His biological finds led him to study the transmutation of species and in 1838 he conceived his theory of natural selection. Fully aware that others had been severely punished for such "heretical" ideas, he confided only in his closest friends and continued his research to meet anticipated objections. However, in 1858 the information that Alfred Russel Wallace had developed a similar theory forced an early joint publication of the theory.

His 1859 book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (usually abbreviated to The Origin of Species) established evolution by common descent as the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society, continued his research, and wrote a series of books on plants and animals, including humankind, notably The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex and The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.

In recognition of Darwin's preeminence, he was buried in Westminster Abbey, close to John Herschel and Isaac Newton
