Charles Darwin exposed his ideas on evolution by natural selection in a book called, 'The Origin of Species' (1859) where he stated that all species have descended from a common ancestor and therefore evolved into different species by what he called Natural Selection.

Also those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment they live in will survive and pass on their advantageous alleles to the next generation.
