Well, Darwin's theory of the survival of the fittest still holds in many situations these days. He has like, a whole textbook or two on him. Cant type it out though ^^
But his theory of Natural selection is what he's remembered for today. ALso, his book on the origin of species still has a stand in today's science.
Happy mylotting.

He is got 10 children! Man, he is so productive.:) But it seemed that it was common at that age. It is 150 year since his controversial and great as well theory about evolution released. According to his theory, all living things are related and everything ultimately descended from the a single common ancestor. This has troubled many, including Darwin himself, as it subverted the idear of divine intervention. It's not surprised that the countries less accepting the evolution today tend to be the most devout. According to an article from www. economist.com, Turkey is the lest country of accepting the theory with 26% of total its population in the world.
