Darwin menerbitkan teori evolusi dengan bukti kuat dalam bukunya terbitan tahun 1859 ''[[On the Origin of Species]]'', mengatasi penolakan ilmiah dari konsep awal dari [[transmutasi spesies]]<!-- tidak jelas maksudnya -->.<ref>{{cite book|title=Why Evolution is True|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780199230846|last = Coyne|first=Jerry A.|authorlink=Jerry Coyne|year=2009|publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]|location= Oxford|isbn=0-19-923084-6|page=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780199230846/page/17 17]|quote=In ''The Origin'', Darwin provided an alternative hypothesis for the development, diversification, and design of life. Much of that book presents evidence that not only supports evolution, but at the same time refutes creationism.

It is one of the two or three most significant works of all time—one of those works that fundamentally and permanently alter our vision of the world...It is argued with a singularly rigorous consistency but it is also eloquent, imaginatively evocative, and rhetorically compelling." {{cite book|title=On the origin of species by means of natural selection|editor=Carroll, Joseph|year=2003|publisher=Broadview|location= Peterborough, Ontario|isbn= 1-55111-337-6|page=15|url= }}</ref>
