Charles Darwin is considered the forefather of scientific child study because
a. he discovered that human prenatal growth differs markedly from that of other species
b.he constructed the first theory of human development
c. he was the first to conduct experiments on children
d. his theory prompted other researchers to study children and their development directly
‘D’ is the answer. The evolutionary perspective is one of the fastest growing areas within the field of lifespan development – behavioral genetics. It seeks to identify behavior that is the result of our genetic inheritance from our ancestors. This approach grew out of the groundbreaking work of Charles Darwin, and it also draws heavily on the field of ethology.

The answer would be "D" but I have never heard of him being so considered or his theory of evolution being influential in that manner.
