उत्तर
Gradualist
Explanation:
Darwin is known as a gradualist because his theory of evolution emphasizes gradual changes occurring over long periods of time through natural selection. He proposed that species evolve slowly by the accumulation of small, heritable variations rather than by sudden, large-scale changes. He was not a Mendelian (as Mendel’s work on genetics was not integrated into his theory during his lifetime), nor a population geneticist (a later development in evolutionary biology), nor a catastrophist (who believes in rapid, large-scale events causing change).
