This document provides a timeline of scientists and their contributions to the development of evolutionary thought. It includes Thomas Malthus and his observations on population control leading to his 1798 publication Principle of Population. It also mentions Aristotle introducing taxonomy, James Hutton's theory of gradualism, Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection and publication of On the Origin of Species, Georges Cuvier's theory of catastrophism, Charles Lyell extending Hutton's ideas of uniformitarianism, and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck proposing one of the first theories of biological evolution.

Population where he made the observations that the human race would be likely to overproduce if the population size was not kept under control. ARISTOTLE (384-322 BC) first introduced the two key concepts of taxonomy as we practice it today: classification of oranisms by type and binomial definition.
JAMES HUTTON (1726 1797)
Theory of Gradualism, which states that slow CHARLES DARWIN (1809 1882) and continuous physical processes, acting Natural Selection; described evolution as Descent over long periods of time, produced Earths with Modification. major geological features. And in 1859, he published On the Origin of Species.
SCIENTISTS TIMELINE: THE DEVELOPMENT OF EVOLUTIONARY THOUGHT
GEORGES CUVIER (1769 1832)
Theory of Catastrophism, states that each boundary in the strata represents a sudden catastrophic event that had destroyed many species in the area. Such regions were then repopulated by species immigrating from other areas. CAROLUS LINNAEUS (1707-1778) father of taxonomoy, the system of classifying and naming CHARLES LYELL (1797 1875) Principles of organisms. He contributed on JEAN BAPTISTE DE LAMARCK (1744 1829) geology; Theory of Uniformitarianism. He extended the development of a proposed the first comprehensive theory of biological Huttons ideas in an influential series of books, hierarchical system of evolution that was based on specific mechanisms. He Principles of Geology. classification of nature proposed that a metaphysical perfecting principle (K, P, C, O, F, G, S) caused organisms to become better suited to their environments.
