Before and during Darwin's time, many theories of evolution had been proposed. With which theories would Darwin most likely agree?
- Malthus's theory that species and populations were limited by available resources, lack of resources, and competition, and that competition drove evolution
- Cuvier's theory of catastrophism, where abrupt changes and the survivors of those changes were not new species at all
- Lyell's theory of uniformity, where a steady, gradual, and lengthy molding of Earth and its species occurred
- Lamarck's theory that single, simple forms could become more complex in an individual and thereby cause heritable changes in the next generation
