The book's full title is 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life'. It introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection.

1:The members of any given species each have slightly different traits.
2:Some traits are more suited to an environment than others.
3:Those traits that are less suited to the environment are killed off, and those that are more suited remain.
4:Those traits that remain are passed to offspring in greater numbers.
5:On occasion, random mutation gives rise to new traits
6:If those traits are more suited to the environment, they are passed on.
7:If enough new traits accumulate in an isolated population, a new species is born.

The starting point for Evolutionary study, fraught with 19th Century knowledge. He made some very good guesses. He did not have the knowledge that we do now. He even knew it, when he said he could not prove his Theory. We have come a long way since then.

Evolution.. but that doesn't mean God didn't created us... Charles Darwin proved the order how we were created while the Bible proved the reason why God created us- love.

Common descent with variation favoring certain heritable traits in certain environments. Those that have offspring that reproduce tend to pass on their traits.

"I evolved from a much lower life-form -- I think."
