HMS Beagle
Darwin was recommended as a naturalist on the HMS Beagle, which was bound on a long scientific survey expedition to South America and the South Seas (1831–36). His zoological and geological discoveries on the voyage resulted in numerous important publications and formed the basis of his theories of evolution. -
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection
Darwin worked on his theory for more than 20 years before publishing it in his famous On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859). The book was immediately in great demand, and Darwin’s intensely controversial theory was accepted quickly in most scientific circles, most opposition came from religious leaders. Though Darwin’s ideas were modified by later developments in genetics and molecular biology, his work remains central to modern evolutionary theory. -
The Descent of Man
Darwin expands on his theories of natural selection, which he first articulated in On the Origin of Species. Darwin wrote this book to explore the following three concepts: whether man descended from a pre-existing form, the manner of that development, and the importance of racial variation among the species of man.
