Yes, but it needs some additions like Mendelian Genetics that Darwin did not have. These additions have already been made.
In short: Evolution. It means that a common ancestor is shared, but through small modifications over long periods of time, there is a large diversity.
Descent with modification
That the offspring of one species may adapt to it's surroundings and live longer then though without the modification.
During Darwins visit to the Galapagos island he observed that these islands had many unique organisms, most of which were similar to but different from the plants and animals from the nearest mainland.... thus this indicated how population evolved. Darwin called this "descent with modification" meaning an ancestral species could diversify into many descendant species by the accumulation of adaptation to various environment. His observation described the theory of evolution.
Evolution through natural selection occurs slowly over millions of years. It has been hypothesized that evolution is the result of positive mutations that occur in a community of organisms that help them survive better. Evolution is essentially descent with modification.

The theory of evolution by natural selection.

No, it's the other way around: descent with modification is what you need for natural selection to happen.
The theory of descent with modification.
Macro-evolution. Or, more accurately, speciation.
Evolution. Darwin used the term "descent with modification"-- not "evolution"-- however, later people began to use the term "evolution."
"The Descent of Man" was published in 1871.
