Evolution is the theory first proposed by Charles Darwin that says a change in a population's inherited traits occurs through successive generations, with natural selection ensuring that traits which enhance survival become more common.

Background
The theory was first proposed by Charles Darwin in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species. Darwin developed his theory by traveling to the Galapagos Islands and observing the various breeds of finches. The theory proposes that man is the descendant of great apes and is most closely related to the chimpanzee. The theory of evolution is accepted by the scientific community and provides a basis for modern biology. -
