Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proposal that natural selection acts on variants within populations and ultimately leads to the evolution of different species was put forth by Charles Darwin in his book "On the Origin of Species". Mendel's work, on the other hand, focused on the inheritance of traits, while Lyell and Malthus contributed to Darwin's understanding of geological and population dynamics, respectively. "Founder" is not a relevant figure in the context of this question.
