Charles Darwin went to an island (Galapagos)where he studied the beaks of finches. He noticed that the although the birds were from the same species, they looked different. This is how he worked out that "Species change over time to adapt to their environment."

Yes. While many others made hypotheses on the subject, Darwin was the first to find proof and back his hypothesis up with it.
Charles Darwin was not the first person to develop a theory of evolution. Prior theories were posited by Greek philosopher Anaximander and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck.
