Charles Darwin played a major role in the development of modern science. He was a bold thinker who became a legendary figure in our Western culture, and his name is inseparable from the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Even today, Darwin's theories spark debates and contradictory responses. The evolution of species is now proven by scientific facts, but the mechanisms of evolution are diverse and still poorly understood by the non-scientific community. Advances in comparative genomics allow us to better understand the mechanisms (mutation, duplication, chromosomal rearrangement, etc.) that intervened to achieve the diversity of current species.
Various movements such as social Darwinism, eugenics, and sociobiology have distorted Darwinism and, to some extent, demonized it. Several creationist crusades in the United States have rejected Darwinism, the most recent being the Intelligent Design movement, a highly influential movement in the United States.
