Darwin was a big proponent of natural selection leading to variation. He studied animals and plants on the Galapagos Islands and noted that there were some very strange creatures that were very similar to ones he knew, but which, because they were on an isolated island, starting evolving away from the more common varieties seen. His works were not widely read for a good while after he wrote them though, so there might actually have been others before him. He was the most popular, though.
