Charles Darwin is one of mankinds’ greatest thinkers. His scientific observations which culminated in the publication of the Theory of Evolution in 1859, shook man’s age old belief in being the „chosen ones“ – the fruit of „divine creation“ and proved that mankind had developed through a long and painstaking evolutionary process. Man was no longer the exceptional creation of God, but the result of a process of adaptation which had been taking place over millions of years.
