Charles darwin proposed the theroy of Natural Selection, where nature selects animals to survive by allowing them to adapt to the environment. For example, if trees were high up and the animal was a vegetarian, the species might grow a longer neck over time to reach the leaves. Also, Darwin proposed Survival of the fittest, where animals that are the best equipped for their environment will survive over those that aren't.

Charles Robert Darwin said 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.
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 whose work supported Charles Lyell's uniformitarian theory of geology, 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.
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 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.

I believe he had something to do with the naming or discovery of numerous animals on the Galapagos Islands. Or at the very least he brought a few over to the US, because the oldest living animal is a Galapagos Island turtle that's over 150 years old and was brought over by Chuck himself.
