Explain what Darwin meant when he talked about the common descent of all life, and what the significance is of the branch points on a phylogenetic tree. 1  When Darwin talked about the common descent of all life he was referring to the fact that all life evolved from a common ancestor.
In the early 19th century Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744 â 1829) proposed his theory of the transmutation of species, the first fully formed theory of evolution. In 1858 Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace published a new evolutionary theory, explained in detail in Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859).Unlike Lamarck, Darwin proposed common descent and a branching tree of life, meaning that two very different species could share a common ancestor.n 1858 Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace published a new evolutionary theory, explained in detail in Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859).
