It introduced the theory that populations evolve through natural selection, with life's diversity arising from common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin presented evidence from his Beagle expedition and years of research to challenge the belief that species were unchanging. The book sparked intense scientific, philosophical, and religious debate, ultimately transforming our understanding of life and becoming the foundation of evolutionary biology.
