Answer 1

Darwin’s theory, as presented in ‘The Origin of Species’, mainly concerned how adaptations evolve.

Explanation:

Darwin’s theory in “The Origin of Species” focuses on natural selection, which explains how organisms gradually develop adaptations suited to their environment.
He described how useful variations are preserved and accumulate over generations.
Thus, the central idea of the book is how adaptations evolve, which leads to the formation of new species.
