Back then, people were very religous and they thought that Darwin was saying we evolved from monkeys, but really, his theory proved that we evolved from the same common ancestor as monkeys, but took different paths.

Darwin was very worried about producing his theory in "The Orign of Species'

becaus of his beloved wife, Emma Darwin who was Christian and would be hurt by the very idea of it.

'The Origin of Species' was published in November 1859 at age 50, and sold 1250 copies in a single day. He was ridiculed and mocked.

Why did Charles Darwins theory upset many people?

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection challenged traditional beliefs about the creation of life, particularly the literal interpretation of the Bible's Genesis account. It suggested that humans and other species evolved over time through natural processes rather than being individually created by a divine being. This idea contradicted established religious doctrines and raised concerns about humanity's place in the natural world, leading to significant backlash from both religious and scientific communities at the time.
