    Darwinism

    Darwinism is a term used to describe a theory of biological evolution developed by the English naturalist Charles Darwin and others. The theory states that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce. Also called Darwinian theory, it originally included the broad concepts of transmutation of species or of evolution which gained general scientific acceptance after Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, including concepts which predated Darwin's theories. English biologist Thomas Henry Huxley coined the term Darwinism in April 1860. Wikipedia

    Today, Darwin's theory of natural selection, or descent with modification, has support of the scientific community and even the Catholic Church.

    Abstract: Philosophers of science in Darwin's day interpreted evolutionary theory as not fitting the view of scientific laws and theories current at the time. Hence, evolutionary theory had to be modified to make it fit. More recently, philosophers and biologists have argued that evolutionary theory provides a new paradigm of science, an ...

    Feb 8, 2025Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is the foundation upon which modern evolutionary theory is built. The theory was outlined in Darwin's seminal work On the Origin of Species, published in 1859.Although Victorian England (and the rest of the world) was slow to embrace natural selection as the mechanism that drives evolution, the concept of evolution itself gained ...
