This article examines Aristotle's views on the origin and relationship of species to determine whether he can be considered an evolutionist. The author argues that while Aristotle recognized similarities between different species, he did not attribute these similarities to common ancestry, a core principle of Darwinian evolution. Instead, Aristotle believed that species had existed from eternity in their present forms. The author further points out that Aristotle rejected the idea of chance or spontaneity as the driving force behind the development of organisms, highlighting his belief in purpose and design in nature. The article concludes that Aristotle's views were fundamentally different from Darwinian evolution and that he cannot be considered an evolutionist
