are many theories of evolution that have emerged even before Charles Darwin's time. Surprisingly, many of the theories, including Darwin's own, were spot on to what we know today. In fact, Charles Darwin's grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, had the idea that species evolved from a common ancestor. Of course, Darwin is the most famous theorists of all with his theory of natural selection. Darwin is also the only one of the many evolution theorists to have evidence of evolution and natural selection. Darwin's

All theories start out as an observation, or a formal way of seeing things, which leads to utilizing inductive reasoning to form a hypothesis, which
Charles Darwin published his work, On the Origin of Species, a work of scientific literature known to be the foundation of evolutionary biology in 1859. On the Origin of Species summarizes Darwin’s life work and research centered around how the world and species developed to the way we know them today. His basic theory was that species were not created but evolved and that the driving force in charge of evolution was natural selection. The controversial nature of his work stemmed from his departure
undeniable that the foundation of Wilhelm Wundt’s Institute of Experimental Psychology and the introduction of Darwin’s new theory of evolution as descried in Origin of Species has had a huge impact on the development of the modern discipline of Psychology and on society today. In this essay I will examine Wilhelm Wundt’s Institute of Experimental Psychology and Darwin’s theory of evolution from Origin of Species. I will look at what they included and the effect they had on Psychology and society at
