Many scientists in Darwin's time knew that simple organisms developed gradually and changed to more
complex organisms, but they did,
these changes
occurred. They were also arguing about the age of the Earth, but they knew it was much more than
6,000 years old.
The key idea for Darwin was in
proposal that populations produced
than the environmental resources could support. There was
for food, water and space that lead to weakness, starvation or death by disease.
Darwin used the term,
to describe the process that only the offspring
for the environment would survive. We now define natural selection as the
