Evolution Hyperdoc
Influencers of Darwin
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck
Even though his predictions we believed to be incorrect, Lamarck still provided the first theory of evolution that the world had seen. Even though Darwin proved his theory of "Inheritance of acquired characteristics", the thought of it gave way to Darwin's theory of natural selection
Charles Lyell
Charles Lyell's synthesising and perfecting of Huttons work allowed Darwin to get a better idea of how old the earth was, how we knew this, and how it could affect our perception of the world
Thomas Malthus
Malthus believed that species must be contained in order to prevent overpopulation. From this prediction charles darwin wondered if certain organisms in a species developed characteristics that help them live a longer life.
Alfred- Russel Wallace
If it were not for wallace then Darwin never would have published. Wallace had developed a very similar theory as darwin had and when he asked his friend to approve of his work, Darwin sent him his own theory. They then worked together to publish the "On the Origin of Species"
James Hutton
Showed Darwin that the earth was far older and anyone had anticipated. And if life was very slowly altered into what it was today, then Darwin's theory would have time to play out
