The document is a reading passage about Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It discusses two key influences on Darwin's thinking: Thomas Malthus' essay on population growth, and the practice of selective breeding. Malthus' theory led Darwin to realize that in nature, more organisms are produced than can survive, resulting in a struggle for survival. Selective breeding demonstrated to Darwin how artificial selection can create new plant and animal varieties by choosing parents with desirable traits, leading him to believe natural selection operates similarly in nature. The passage concludes that Darwin developed his theory of evolution by natural selection over many years, stating in his book "On the Origin of Species" that natural selection leads to organisms becoming better suited to their environments

There are two kinds of evidence which can explain how some of Charles Darwin’s opinion’s were
formed and promulgated. The first is an essay on population growth by Thomas Malthus and the other is
the theory and practice of selective breeding.

Thomas Malthus wrote that the human population was growing faster than food supply needed to
feed it. This started Darwin’s thinking about all forms of life. He realized that in nature too many organism
are being produced, and that many of their offspring didn’t survive. He concluded that there must be some
kind of struggle between the organism to survive. Only some organism can survive by winning the
competition for food, avoiding predators and by finding shelter.

Selective breeding showed Darwin that plants and animals could be created by the selection of
parents which have the best possibilities for survival. Breeders and growers selected parents with the most
suitable size, color and number of seeds or offspring. This was artificial selection, and it led Darwin to
believe that there was a similar force in nature, but a natural selection.

Darwin drew up his theory of evolution by natural selection over a period of many years, and the
final outcome was his book entitled “The Origin of the Species”, in which he stated that not only was
evolution by natural selection but also that organism with variations suitable for the environment survive
and eventually an organism population as a whole will be come better suited for its environment.

closest in meaning to that
A. disseminated A. There was not enough food for all
B. concurred with the people in the world

D. opposed. food survived.
C. Organism survived if they struggle
D. Organism survived by becoming
predators.
