Charles Darwin published his On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1858 to controversy that hasn’t ended 150 years later. Darwin’s theory of natural selection challenged (and still challenges) the religious views of many who believe God or a higher being intelligently designed humans and animals. Darwin thinks it was all one big crap shoot, and we got damn lucky. Still, natural selection and evolution have become staples of scientific study, shaping the same controversial 150 years of genetic and biological research.
