Darwin also collected organisms of all sorts,as well as unearthing many fossils.He began to speculate on why it was that the species he found as fossils were often extinct in the same region today,but sometimes not.The evidence clearly showed that the environment had sometimes changed.Where had new species come from?
Darwin did not hit on a solution during the Beagle voyage,but rather a few years later in London,while writing books on his travels and studying the specimens he had collected.He began to speculate on how species could arise by means still active around us.Darwin's idiosyncratic eclecticism led him to investigate some unconventional bodies of evidence.He made countless inquiries of animal breeders,both farmers and hobbyists like pigeon fanciers,trying to understand how they made distinct breeds of animals.
Gradually Darwin decided that organisms were infinitely variable,and that the supposed limits or barriers to species were a myth.In modern terms we would say that Darwin came to accept the then very controversial and unorthodox view that life evolves.
Darwin then sought to understand how evolution worked.Darwin was familiar with the evolutionary theories earlier proposed by his grandfather Erasmus Darwin and by the great French zoologist J.B.Lamarck.In 1838 Darwin read the Rev.Thomas Malthus' s Essay on the Principle of Population(1798).Malthus had argued for a law-like relationship between population growth and food production in order to warn against what he feared was an immanent danger of human overpopulation.Malthus was widely believed to have conclusively demonstrated that population growth would necessarily outstrip food production unless population growth were somehow checked.
The focus of this scheme inspired Darwin who applied it to his much wider field of concern.Surely all species could breed enough to fill the earth-yet did not.Clearly many offspring did not survive.Darwin,already concentrating on how new varieties of life might be formed,now thought in terms of the differences between those individuals who,for whatever reasons,left offspring and those who did not.
