November 24, 1859 - Charles Darwin publishes the book "The Origin of Species", paving the way for the theory of evolution

Charles Robert Darwin (12/2/1809 - April 19, 1882) was a famous researcher in the field of English naturalism. He was the one who discovered and proved that all species evolved over time from common ancestors through natural selection . If evolution is accepted by the scientific community and the public in Darwin's time, his selection theory in the 1930s is seen as the main explanation for this process, and today become the foundation for modern evolutionary theory. Darwin's discovery is a unified theory for the biological sciences because it can provide a rational explanation for species diversity.

His book, The Origin of Species, published on November 24, 1859, says that evolution over generations is due to variation and this provides a scientific explanation for multiprocessing. form in nature. This is considered one of the most important scientific publications and the core work of evolutionary biology. The full name of the book is About the origin of species through natural selection, or the preservation of privileged strains through the survival struggle . The book introduces the hypothesis that species populations evolve through generations through a natural selection process. This is controversial because it contradicts religious beliefs then placed under the hypotheses of biology.

Darwin's book is the most quintessential thing he had accumulated in the Royal Navy Beagle train journey as a naturalist conducting a thorough survey of the Southern region . Bridge in the 1830s and expanded through investigations and experiments since he returned. Of all the places Darwin once arrived at, the Galapagos Islands left the strongest impression, and he saw many strange creatures that he had never seen before. During his return to England, Darwin wrote in his handbook as follows: ' The first things that surprised me were the fossilized fossils like the existing armadillo (also known as the anteater). In addition, the animals became increasingly different when moving south. Finally, creatures that are not small in size within the Galapagos Islands, though considered geologically, are quite young islands . ' Charles Darwin was not immediately aware of the meaning of the change in the physical appearance of the creatures, so he recorded all the comments that he would later study when he returned to England. In fact, he was the one who did not accept what the Bible mentioned, whereby all categories were created at the same time and did not change over time.

The first sketch of 35 pages was written in 1842, and in 1844 it was expanded to 230 pages. The key question of Darwin's book is how to interpret organic life began to develop since the beginning of the Earth, to explain the appearance and disappearance of animals. Why are animals born, changed over time, divided into different branches and often disappear completely? For over 20 years in a row, Charles Darwin has compiled the book 'The Origin of Species'. He tried to concretize his theories by reading countless documents: magazines, travel books, sports books, flower-planting books, animal books and natural history books. Darwin also talked with many breeders of plants and animals, even sent questions to knowledgeable people. Besides, he also used the data collected during the Beagle journey to answer many problems related to botany, zoology, geology, paleontology .

It was thanks to Charles Darwin's tireless efforts that evolution became gradually shaped by the scientific community. Even so, Darwin himself and his doctrine were initially fiercely opposed by the Church and conservative scientists. In honor of his work with science, after Darwin's death, his ashes were placed next to the position of Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey, London.
