I have a bachelor on biology

Tl;dr yeah sure some people before darwin guessed animals came from somewhere and were pobably related somewhat. But Darwin and Wallace were the first ones to point out how and to especify that a species could only originate once, in a specific place in time and space, and never again. People before d&w assumed shit like " hmmm this place is cold....penguins live in the cold...surely someday penguins will appear here." No, something that looks like a penguin could appear there, because "the penguin form" is well suited for the environment, but they are not penguins
