Neo-Darwinism refers to an updated or modified form of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. It incorporates the principles of Darwinian natural selection with the knowledge of genetic inheritance and mutation, which were not fully understood during Darwin's time. The modern synthesis, also known as the synthetic theory of evolution, emerged in the early 20th century as a result of the work of several scientists, including T. Dobzhansky, R.A. Fisher, J.B.S. Haldane, Swall Wright, Ernst Mayr, and G.L. Stebbins. It integrated genetics and evolutionary biology to provide a comprehensive explanation of how evolution occurs.
