The Start
Subsequent to his return from a voyage, in 1836, the analysis of plants and animals led him to question how species form and change overtime. This was the beginning of his concept of natural selection and evolution, in which he also studied mocking birds, in which he theorized that the different mocking birds shared ancestors ("Charles Darwin", 2019).

The Theory
Overtime, developed the theory that natural selection, which says, that individuals of a species have a higher chance of surviving in their environment and pass genes to the next generation, when they inherit traits from their parents, whom were best suited for that environment ("Charles Darwin", 2019).

On The Origin of Species
In 1859, Darwin officially published a book, in which he officially proposed that species evolve, or, "descent with modification" and that they can be traced to ancestors. This book posed a new school of thought for the society and how they view science . References:
