Answer (3)

Not 100%, But in my biology class we discussed this at the beginning of the year. Darwin believed in survival of the fittest. Thomas Malthus believed that there are a lack of resources (food) because of over population.

Thomas Malthus inspired Darwin through his ideas about population growth and resource limitations, outlined in his 1798 essay. Malthus argued that populations grow faster than available resources, leading to competition for survival. Darwin used Malthus's concept of a "struggle for existence" to develop his theory of natural selection, where advantageous traits enhance survival and reproduction.
