The naturalist who provided the incentive for Darwin to publish his ideas about evolution was Alfred Russel Wallace. In 1858, Wallace sent Darwin an essay outlining a theory of natural selection that closely paralleled Darwin's own ideas. This prompted Darwin to finally publish his groundbreaking work "On the Origin of Species" in 1859.

Charles Darwin
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck published his ideas on evolution in 1809 in a book titled "Philosophie Zoologique." In this book, he proposed the theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, which suggested that organisms could pass down traits acquired during their lifetime to their offspring.
Darwin hesitated to publish his book "On the Origin of Species" because he feared backlash from the scientific community and the public due to its controversial ideas about evolution and natural selection. He also wanted to gather more evidence to support his theory before making it public.
