He believed that somehow all species are connected because of evolution. What Darwin tried to prove was, life here on Earth was the result of many years of adapting to the changing environment. This brought up an explanation of how certain species can only live in certain climates to be able to survive.

We have climbed quite high. Of course, fifty years ago one could have said the same thing, and fifty years before that, and fifty years before that. But in each case it would have been premature. We've increased the population fourfold in that 150 years; the amount of food we grow has gone up faster still; the size of our economy has quite simply
