Solution:

Darwinism, dealing with evolution of organisms was given by the English naturalist Charles Darwin (1809 - 1882) in his book – On the Origin of Species by means of Natural selection (1859). He travelled to Galapagos Islands between 1831 - 1836 by the HMS Beagle ship. Darwin was influenced by two books – Principles of Geology (by Charles Lyell) and Principles of Population (by Thomas Malthus). According to Thomas Malthus - Population tends to increase geometrically, while food resources increase arithmetically.
