Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 :
Charles Darwin

Origin of Species by Natural Selection: 

  • It was written by Charles Darwin.
  • It was a groundbreaking scientific work by British naturalist Charles Darwin.
  • It was originally published in 1859.
  • Darwin, through his theory, argued, that organisms gradually evolve through a process he called “natural selection.”
  • In natural selection, organisms with genetic variations that are better suited to their environment have an advantage over the organisms of the same species that lack the variation.
  • And thus, the better-suited organism or specie, are in turn more likely to survive and more likely to give their features to future generations than the other.
  • And such, the cycle of natural selection of the specie is carried out during the course of evolution.

 

Charles Darwin:

  • Charles Darwin was born in 1809 in Shrewsbury, England.
  • Darwin proposed a theory of evolution called natural selection in the year 1859.
  • According to it those populations which are a better fit (reproductively fit) in an environment will be selected by nature and will survive more.
  • Darwin's theory of natural selection is popularly known as 'Darwinism'.
  • English naturalist Charles Darwin developed the idea of natural selection after a five-year voyage to study plants, animals, and fossils in South America and on islands in the Pacific.
  • Darwin conducted a sea voyage in a sailing ship called H.M.S Beagle as a part of his experiments on the theory of evolution.
  • Charles Darwin became almost universally thought of as the "Father of Evolution".
  • Darwin's process of natural selection has four components:
    • Variation 
    • Inheritance
    • High rate of population growth
    • Differential survival and reproduction
  • Charles Darwin died in 1882 at the age of seventy-three.

Thus, Charles Darwin wrote 'Origin of Species'.
