because people would go against him since they believed that god created everything!

Darwin was prompted to publish his theory of evolution by Alfred Russel Wallace. Wallace sent Darwin a manuscript outlining a similar theory of natural selection based on his own research, prompting Darwin to expedite the publication of his own work.
Darwin hesitated to publish his findings on evolution due to several factors, including the potential backlash from the scientific community and religious institutions. He feared that his ideas, which challenged established beliefs, would provoke controversy and derision. Additionally, Darwin wanted to gather more evidence to support his theory of natural selection before making it public. It wasn't until he received a letter from Alfred Russel Wallace, who independently conceived similar ideas, that he felt compelled to publish his work.

Darwin's theory was accepted,at first Darwin himself did not publish his findings as he did not feel anybody else would agree with his findings but once he found that a fellow scientist had conducted the same research and was going to publish his findings Darwin then also decided that he would publish his findings also.

Charles Lyell, a geologist and friend of Darwin, encouraged him to publish his first book "On the Origin of Species." Lyell believed in the theory of evolution and saw the potential impact of Darwin's work on the scientific community.

No one forced Darwin to publish his ideas on evolution and natural selection. However, he faced pressure from fellow scientists like Alfred Russel Wallace, who also developed similar ideas independently. Darwin published "On the Origin of Species" in 1859.
Darwin's most famous work was titled "On the Origin of Species" . It is his theory of evolution by natural selection
Darwin was not really influenced while on the Beagle but 5 years after he returned to England he was influenced by Alfred Russel Wallace to finally publish his book (the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.) Darwin was afraid to publish his book because in his mind it took away a need for a God. His book challenged the religious and scientific communities. Wallace had come up with the same ideas by himself and was not afraid to share his theories. Darwin wanted to get credit for his work so he published his book and theories first.
On his return trip to England, Darwin thought about the tortoises and their vegetation compared to the height of the animals.
The naturalists whose essays inspired Charles Darwin to publish his own work were Thomas Robert Malthus and Alfred Russel Wallace. Malthus's essay on population growth highlighted the struggle for resources, which influenced Darwin's ideas on natural selection. Wallace independently developed similar theories and sent his manuscript to Darwin, prompting him to publish "On the Origin of Species" in 1859 to establish priority over the ideas they both explored.
