As a young man, Darwin travelled to many locations studying geology and animal life. An important voyage was on board the H.M.S. Beagle, during which he visited the Galapagos Islands. He later said of this voyage it ‘determined my whole career’. John Murray later published Darwin’s findings from this trip and went on to publish all his future works.
Darwin proposed the theory of evolution in his book On the Origin of the Species. Published in 1859, it is widely considered one of the most important books ever written. It was controversial as it challenged widely held religious teachings.
When he published his ideas it caused a great debate, which still rages today. Letters in the John Murray Archive provide a fascinating insight into the arguments both for and against Darwin’s theory.
