Darwin was the ''grandfather of evolutionary psychology" , which attempts to determine which psychological traits, such as personality and perception of attractiveness, are evolved adaptations due to natural selection. He was also one of the pioneers for child development research and psychology.In addition to publishing his theory of evolution, Darwin wrote books about coral reefs, earthworms and carnivorous plants. But the eminent naturalist made important contributions to more than just the life sciences. It turns out Darwin was also an early experimental psychologist.Evolutionary psychology is inspired by the work of Charles Darwin and applies his ideas of natural selection to the mind. Darwin's theory argues that ''all living species, including humans, arrived at their current biological form through a historical process involving random inheritable changes''.
