In Darwin's own words. The theory of evolution by means of natural selection.
that all organisms are linked by common ancestry
The 1700s saw major scientific discoveries such as the thermometer, flush toilet and cotton gin. What was more significant than this was the advent and acceptance of scientific reasoning instead of relying on religion to explain the world. This resulted in further exploration about the laws of science.
Although there are a number of details which Darwin got wrong; he misclassified some animals and his beliefs about inherited characteristics (he thought mixing of blood was somehow responsible for how offspring resemble their parents) were, frankly, pretty silly, Darwin's major theories on natural selection and how species change have been repeatedly confirmed by discoveries in physics, biology and genetics over the last 150 years. This is largely because Darwin developed his theory over many years and after long observation of the natural world.

Charles Darwin appears to have been a civilised man who would have seen dignity and value in his fellow man. In his early years, he commenced training for the ministry, and was still a Christian when he published his major work, The Descent of Species. However, in his later years he seems to have become disillusioned with Christianity.So, regardless of his later lack of religious faith and regardless of his scientific achievements, Darwin believed in the inherent dignity of man.
