He argued that this sluggish technique of modification and edition leads to the diversification of species and the improvement of recent ones. Throughout the book, Darwin furnished a wealth of proof from various fields, along with geology, paleontology, and comparative anatomy, to support his theory.

His interests in life science evolved and after working more than 20 years, in 1859 his world fame work 'On the Origin of Species' was published. He explained theory of evolution by natural selection. He said that life on earth evolved from a common ancestor. On earth there is struggle for survival between members who have favourable traits they survive and reproduce, it is known as survival of fittest.
