By the end of the Victorian period the values that were characteristic of this time were fading away. In 1859 (mid-way through the Victorian Age), Charles Darwin published a work that opposed the conventional way of thinking about religion. The Origin of Species proposed the theory that man actually evolved from a lower species rather than having been created by a higher power.
Darwin published his theory of evolution with compelling evidence in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, overcoming scientific rejection of earlier concepts of transmutation of species. By the 1870s, the scientific community and much of the general public had accepted evolution as a fact.harles Robert Darwin, FRS (/ËdÉrwÉªn/ ; 12 February 1809 â 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist and geologist, best known for his contributions to evolutionary theory.
