Thomas Malthus was widely known for his theories about population and its increase or decrease in response to various factors. He wrote An Essay on the Principle of Population, which mainly stated that sooner or later, the world was going to be overcome by famine and disease. He hypothesized that "The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man". This means that there will be too many people on Earth, and not enough food to feed and sustain them all.
Charles Lyell wrote Principles of Geology, which popularized James Hutton's concepts. Hutton’s concept was the idea that the earth was shaped by slow-moving forces still in operation today. Lyell was a close and influential friend of Charles Darwin. He was best known for popularizing the doctrine of uniformitarianism.
James Hutton was considered the father of modern geology. His theories of geology came to be included in theories which were called plutonism and uniformitarianism. By looking at rock formations in mountains, Hutton also discovered that the Earth was millions, not thousands, of years old.
Alfred Russel Wallace as best known for independently proposing a theory of evolution due to natural selection that prompted Charles Darwin to publish his own theory. He was considered the 19th century's leading expert on the geographical distribution of animal species and is sometimes called the "father of biogeography".
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was widely remembered for a theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics. He contributed to the evolutionary theory which consisted of the first truly cohesive theory of evolution. He also brought about the theory of use and disuse characteristics.
Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor. He’s theory presumes that complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time. This theory is called "descent with modification". Darwin also brought about the theory of natural selection. Natural selection is the process in nature in which organisms possessing certain genotypic characteristics that make them better adjusted to an environment tend to survive, reproduce, increase in number, and therefore, are able to transmit their essential genotypic qualities to succeeding generations. It is the process by which heritable traits that increase an organism’s chances of survival and reproduction are favored than less beneficial traits.
Thomas Malthus said that when food production is more than is needed by the population, the population increases; if population grows too much faster than food production, the population growth is slowed by famine, disease, and war. He theorized that the food production will grow slower than the population, and one day, the people will not be supplied with enough food to survive.
Charles Lyell and James Hutton were geologists whose main contribution to evolution was showing that the world was older than everyone thought. Before these men, the European view of the world was that it was very young. Evolution of all of the species could not happen in just several thousand years. Lyell and Hutton figured out that the earth was much older than a few thousand years. This provided enough time for evolutionary processes to happen.
Wallace and Darwin both came up with the theory of evolution by natural selection independently.
Charles Darwin combined the idea that there was competition for resources, avoidance of predators, and the ability to attract a mate for the purpose of reproduction into a single theory called Natural Selection. In this theory, the "fittest" organisms (those that can best compete for resources, avoid predators, and find mates) survive to pass on their genetic traits.
Lamarck stated the fact that evolutionary change did happen, and tried provide a mechanism for it. He also believed that any traits acquired during an organism’s life would be passed on to its offspring. He said that: - evolution is directional - inheritance of acquired traits - aquire traits through felt needs
Malthus regarded ideals of future improvement in the lot of humanity with scepticism, considering that throughout history a segment of every human population seemed relegated to poverty. He explained this phenomenon by pointing out that population growth generally preceded expansion of the population's resources, in particular the primary resource of food.
Charles Lyell developed the theory of uniformitarianism. This theory says that the natural processes that change the Earth in the present have operated in the past at the same gradual rate. Lyell supported his theory with geological observations that he made in the course of extensive travels in Europe and North America.
James Hutton came to believe that the Earth was perpetually being formed; for example, molten material is forced up into mountains, eroded, and then eroded sediments are washed away. He recognized that the history of the Earth could be determined by understanding how processes such as erosion and sedimentation work in the present day. His ideas and approach to studying the Earth established geology as a proper science.
Alfred Russel Wallace is best known for independently proposing a theory of evolution due to natural selection that prompted Charles Darwin to publish his own theory.
Lamarck was the first to create a theory of evolution. He pretty much stated that animals changed over time because they inherited their new trait that they had to have to survive. This was disproved.
Charles Darwin laid the ground work for the theory of evolution. He traveled to the Galapagos Islands, and on each island discovered new types of Finch birds. He then studied the environment they survived in, and theorized that they must have evolved form a similar bird, and evolved different traits to match the environment they were in.
Thomas Malthus- What "struck" Darwin in Essay on the Principle of Population was Malthus's observation that in nature plants and animals produce far more offspring than can survive, and that Man too is capable of overproducing if left unchecked. Malthus concluded that unless family size was regulated, man's misery of famine would become globally epidemic and eventually consume Man. Malthus' view that poverty and famine were natural outcomes of population growth.
Charles Lyell- Charles Lyell popularized James Hutton's concepts. Hutton’s concept was the idea that the earth was shaped by slow-moving forces that will take millions of years to form, which are still in operation today.
James Hutton- he elaborated his theory of uniformitarianism. Its ability to explain the Earth's geologic processes without reference to the Bible and its emphasis on an immensely long, cyclical process of erosion, deposition, sedimentation, and volcanic upthrust were revolutionary.
Alfred Russel Wallace- He independently proposed a theory of evolution due to natural selection that prompted Charles Darwin to publish his own theory.
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck- the idea that an organism can pass on characteristics that it acquired during its lifetime to its offspring. Lamarck incorporated two ideas into his theory of evolution. 1- Use and disuse and 2- Inheritance of acquired traits
Charles Darwin- Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor: the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers -- all related. Darwin's general theory presumes the development of life from non-life and stresses a purely naturalistic "descent with modification". That is, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time. In a nutshell, as random genetic mutations occur within an organism's genetic code, the beneficial mutations are preserved because they aid survival -- a process known as "natural selection." These beneficial mutations are passed on to the next generation. Over time, beneficial mutations accumulate and the result is an entirely different organism.
Darwin went on the jourey with the beagle to the galapagos islands and gave the idea of natural selection. Malthus said that if the human population grew their wouldn't be enough food for everybody. Lamarack gave the theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics. Hutton was known as the father of geology.

Thomas Malthus was widely known for his theories especially the one where he stated that that as the populations grows there will not be enough room for everyone and not enough food. Lyell proclaimed that the Earths natural processes occur gradually. Hutton proved that the Earth is millions of years old rather than thousands of years old. Wallace proved the theory of evolution that advanced Darwin's theory. Lamarck made two theories, use and disuse and the theory of inheritance of acquired traits. Darwin proposed the theory of Evolution, he observed the animals in different areas and proposed natural selection and descent with modification. Etc
Malthus said that if the population of the species on earth increased it would reach a point that there is no food to supply all people's needs.
Lyell said that a natural process changed the world in the past.
Hutton said that the world has been around for a really long time.
Wallace helped Darwin by writing a book about evolution
Lamarck came up with the use and disuse theory which stated that if a bird starts using its limb instead of its wings it will not use its wings eventually.
Darwin was the one to observe the Galapagos islands observing the evolution of the turtles and their necks and the birds and their beaks
Thomas Malthus-Malthus’ most famous work, which he published in 1798, was An Essay on the Principle of Population as it affects the Future Improvement of Society.He said that if every couple raised four children, the population could easily double in twenty-five years, and from then on, it would keep doubling. It would rise not arithmetically—by factors of three, four, five, and so on—but geometrically—by factors of four, eight, and sixteen. If a country’s population did explode this way, Malthus warned that there was no hope that the world’s food supply could keep up. Clearing new land for farming or improving the yields of crops might produce a bigger harvest, but it could only increase arithmetically, not geometrically. Unchecked population growth inevitably brought famine and misery. The only reason that humanity wasn’t already in perpetual famine was because its growth was continually checked by forces such as plagues, infanticide, and simply putting off marriage until middle age. Malthus argued that population growth doomed any efforts to improve the lot of the poor. Extra money would allow the poor to have more children, only hastening the nation’s appointment with famine.
