Why is charles darwin infamous?

I apologize if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure if you are asking us to give you the answers to a test or asking us to do your homework for you. Either way it is cheating. If you want to ask a school related question, it would be best if you did this research on your own and if you can't find all the answers by all means ask again, but in the proper category ... 鈥淓ducation & Reference > Homework Help鈥? Just remember that the magic word is Homework 鈥楬ELP', not homework 鈥楥ompletion'. They won't do your homework for you, but they are quite willing to help. That way you are up front with your question and not cheating. Good luck!!

He is not infamous. He is famous for developing the theory of natural selection as an explanation for evolution. And, as this is in the Australia section, he also visited Sydney.

Awww, give the kid a break!!!

Darwin's book, "The Origin of the Species" outlined his theory of evolution and natural selection. This caused a lot of uproar within the religious communities of the times, as it was in direct opposition to the religious beliefs of creationism, ie that some god had created the earth and all its living creatures.
But I do wonder why this question is posted in the Australia section???
