Background:
Charles Darwin lived from 1809 until 1882. He was a naturalist who formulated a theory that gave information about natural selection now known as the unifying theory of life sciences. The Theory of Natural Selection explained how organisms became adapted to their environments.
Contributions:
Darwin contributed a plethora of different theories and ideas to modern psychology. In the Origin of Species, Darwin wrote: “In the distant future I see open fields for more important researches. Psychology will be based on a new foundation, that of the necessary acquirement of each mental power and capacity by graduation.” Darwin also explained that “there was no difference in kind between man and animal only a difference in degree” On one hand, “survival of the fittest” could mean “of all the possible creatures that one might imagine, only the fittest possible creatures survive”; on the other, it could mean that the fittest possible creatures survive, but only that creatures that survive tend to be the fittest that happen to be around at any given moment.” He also contributed two theories to modern psychology; sexual selection and natural selection. These topics guide psychologists to answers in adaptation and survival.
