As the expedition's geologist and naturalist, Darwin collected evidence from the Galapagos Islands and other locations which prompted him to speculate that species evolve over generations through a process of natural selection. In 1859, Darwin published \u003ci\u003eOn the Origin of Species, \u003c\/i\u003ea work of scientific literature considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. His revolutionary work presented evidence from the \u003ci\u003eBeagle\u003c\/i\u003e expedition as well as from years of subsequent research and experimentation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten for non-specialists, Darwin's book gained widespread interest from the scientific community, religious leaders, politicians and the general public. The theory Darwin presented in his book quickly became the subject of heated debate and discussion. Now accepted by the scientific community, Darwin's concepts of evolutionary adaptation via natural selection are central to modern evolutionary theory and form the foundation of modern life sciences.
