Darwin created a new branch of Biology called evolutionary biology. His ideas angered those that believe in religion and not science. Some states in the United States banned the teaching of evolution. There was a famous Scopes Monkey Trial where John Scopes was accused of teaching evolution and he was defended by the famous William Jennings Byran.

Some people took Darwin's ideas and used them to create social Darwinism. People, groups, and peoples were also subject to the "survival of the fittest." This concept has been rejected by most now.
