There is no evidence to suggest that Charles Darwin renounced his theory of evolution before his death. In fact, he continued to write in support of evolutionary ideas and even published a book called "The Descent of Man" in 1871. Darwin's theory of evolution remains one of the most influential and widely accepted scientific theories to this day.
Mendel conducted his experiments between 1856 and 1863.Darwin created his theory of natural selection in 1838 and published On the Origin of Species in 1859.
Darwin worked on his theory for 20 years. After learning that another naturalist, Alfred Russel Wallace, had developed similar ideas, the two made a joint announcement of their discovery in 1858. In 1859 Darwin published 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection'.
•The Darwinian revolution challenged traditional views of a young Earth inhabited by unchanging species •In order to understand why Darwin's ideas were revolutionary -We need to examine his views in the context of other Western ideas about Earth and its life
On November 24th, 1859 Charles Darwin published his book On the Origin of Species, so this is really when his theory went public, but his ideas were conceived (started) in the late 1830s.
Darwin was not really influenced while on the Beagle but 5 years after he returned to England he was influenced by Alfred Russel Wallace to finally publish his book (the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.) Darwin was afraid to publish his book because in his mind it took away a need for a God. His book challenged the religious and scientific communities. Wallace had come up with the same ideas by himself and was not afraid to share his theories. Darwin wanted to get credit for his work so he published his book and theories first.
Darwin's ideas have helped scientist make sense of life in the world.
One Idea was the appreciation that the age of the Earth was much greater than had hitherto for been imagined.
