Where Darwin did a bunch of research
This helped him establish his foundation of Natural selection
Major points include:
all species are capable of producing offspring faster than food can increase (an idea borrowed from Malthus)
All living things show variation among individuals
Those more fit will survive and reproduce due to competition over resources
Those that will survive will produce offspring with favorable traits
Over time, variations will increase in population
Traits are inherited
Geographical isolation can lead to new species forming
Favorable traits are determined by environment
