'darwin' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'incites trouble on street' is the wordplay.
'trouble' indicates anagramming the letters.
'on' indicates putting letters inside.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'incites' is an anagram of 'cientis'.
'cientis' put into 'st' is 'SCIENTIST'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
