○ evolution
○ descent with modification
○ nature, red in tooth and claw
○ survival of the fittest

Explanation:

Charles Darwin used "descent with modification" in On the Origin of Species (1859) to describe the process of evolution, emphasizing that species change over generations and share common ancestry. The term "evolution" was less prominent in the first edition, "nature, red in tooth and claw" is from Tennyson, and "survival of the fittest" was coined by Herbert Spencer, not Darwin.

Answer:

descent with modification
