1859年，查尔斯·达尔文在他的著作''物种起源''中提到了被子植物和昆虫之间的进化互动。尽管他没有使用共同进化这个词，但他提出了植物和昆虫是如何通过相互的进化变化而进化的。19世纪晚期的博物学家研究了物种间的交互如何导致彼此演变的其他例子。从20世纪40年代开始的由植物病理学家开发的育种程序就是人类诱导共同进化的例子。培育能够抵抗某些疾病作物的新品种有利于病原体种群的快速进化以克服作物的这些抵御。这反过来又需要开发新的抗性作物品种，这样就造成了在作物和疾病之间的一个持续共同演化的循环；如是的循环一直持续到了今天。

Coevolution as a major topic for study in nature expanded rapidly after the middle 1960s, when Daniel H. Janzen showed coevolution between acacias and ants (see below) and [[Paul R. Ehrlich]] and [[Peter H. Raven]] suggested how [[Escape and radiate coevolution|coevolution between plants and butterflies]] may have contributed to the diversification of species in both groups. The theoretical underpinnings of coevolution are now well-developed (e.g., the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution), and demonstrate that coevolution can play an important role in driving major evolutionary transitions such as the evolution of sexual reproduction or shifts in ploidy. More recently, it has also been demonstrated that coevolution can influence the structure and function of ecological communities, the evolution of groups of mutualists such as plants and their pollinators, and the dynamics[[Javascript:;|展示]] of infectious disease.
