1) By the late 1800s, naturalists were seeing patterns in species distributions and body plans that did not fit with prevailing beliefs, confusing early scientists. 2) Georges Cuvier proposed catastrophism to explain geological changes, while Jean-Baptiste Lamarck proposed the idea of lineages and inherited traits changing over generations. 3) Charles Darwin's voyage on the HMS Beagle and his subsequent work influenced his theory of evolution by natural selection, whereby individuals with adaptive traits tend to leave more offspring, causing allele frequencies to change over generations.
