− | Darwinism became a movement covering a wide range of evolutionary ideas. In 1863 Lyell's Geological Evidences of the Antiquity of Man popularised prehistory, though his caution on evolution disappointed Darwin. Weeks later Huxley's Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature showed that anatomically, humans are apes, then The Naturalist on the River Amazons by Henry Walter Bates provided empirical evidence of natural selection. Lobbying brought Darwin Britain's highest scientific honour, the Royal Society's Copley Medal, awarded on 3 November 1864. That day, Huxley held the first meeting of what became the influential "X Club" devoted to "science, pure and free, untrammelled by religious dogmas". By the end of the decade most scientists agreed that evolution occurred, but only a minority supported Darwin's view that the chief mechanism was natural selection.

− | 达尔文主义成为一场涵盖了广泛的进化论思想的运动。1863年,莱尔的《人类古代的地质证据》一书使史前史广为流传,尽管他对进化论的谨慎态度令达尔文大失所望。几个星期后,赫胥黎的《人类在自然界的地位证据》表明,从解剖学角度来看,人类就是猿类,然后,亨利·沃尔特·贝兹的《亚马逊河上的博物学家》为自然选择提供了经验证明。游说给达尔文带来了英国最高的科学荣誉,皇家学会的科普利奖章,该奖章于1864年11月3日颁发。那一天,赫胥黎举行了第一次会议,后来成为有影响力的“ x 俱乐部” ,致力于“科学,纯粹和自由,不受宗教教条的限制”。十年后,大多数科学家都同意进化论确实存在,但只有少数科学家支持达尔文的观点,认为主要的机制是自然选择。

[[Patrick Matthew]] drew attention to his 1831 book which had a brief appendix suggesting a concept of natural selection leading to new species, but he had not developed the idea.<ref>{{harvnb|Bowler|2003|pp=158, 186}}</ref>

− | The Origin of Species was translated into many languages, becoming a staple scientific text attracting thoughtful attention from all walks of life, including the "working men" who flocked to Huxley's lectures. Darwin's theory also resonated with various movements at the time and became a key fixture of popular culture. Cartoonists parodied animal ancestry in an old tradition of showing humans with animal traits, and in Britain these droll images served to popularise Darwin's theory in an unthreatening way. While ill in 1862 Darwin began growing a beard, and when he reappeared in public in 1866 caricatures of him as an ape helped to identify all forms of evolutionism with Darwinism.

− | 物种起源》被翻译成多种语言,成为一本主要的科学著作,吸引了各行各业深思熟虑的注意力,包括蜂拥而至参加赫胥黎讲座的“劳动人民”。达尔文的理论也与当时的各种运动产生了共鸣,并成为流行文化的一个重要组成部分。漫画家模仿动物祖先的传统,展示人类与动物的特征,在英国,这些滑稽的图像服务于普及达尔文的理论在一个没有威胁的方式。1862年生病时,达尔文开始蓄胡须,1866年,当他再次出现在公众面前时,他作为一个猿人的漫画帮助确定了所有形式的进化论与达尔文主义。

− | The [[Church of England]]'s response was mixed. Darwin's old Cambridge tutors [[Adam Sedgwick|Sedgwick]] and [[John Stevens Henslow|Henslow]] dismissed the ideas, but [[liberal Christianity|liberal clergymen]] interpreted natural selection as an instrument of God's design, with the cleric [[Charles Kingsley]] seeing it as "just as noble a conception of Deity".<ref name=Darwinanddesign>{{cite web|url=http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/content/view/110/104/|title=Darwin and design: historical essay|year=2007|publisher=Darwin Correspondence Project|accessdate=17 September 2008 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090615191012/http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/content/view/110/104/ |archivedate=15 June 2009}}</ref> In 1860, the publication of ''[[Essays and Reviews]]'' by seven liberal Anglican theologians diverted [[clergy|clerical]] attention from Darwin, with its ideas including [[higher criticism]] attacked by church authorities as [[heresy]].

[[Joseph Dalton Hooker|Joseph Hooker]] argued strongly for Darwin, and Thomas Huxley's legendary retort, that he would rather be descended from an ape than a man who misused his gifts, came to symbolise a triumph of science over religion.<ref name=Darwinanddesign /><ref>{{harvnb|Bowler|2003|p=185}}</ref>

− | Despite repeated bouts of illness during the last twenty-two years of his life, Darwin's work continued. Having published On the Origin of Species as an abstract of his theory, he pressed on with experiments, research, and writing of his "big book". He covered human descent from earlier animals including evolution of society and of mental abilities, as well as explaining decorative beauty in wildlife and diversifying into innovative plant studies.

− | Enquiries about insect pollination led in 1861 to novel studies of wild orchids, showing adaptation of their flowers to attract specific moths to each species and ensure cross fertilisation. In 1862 Fertilisation of Orchids gave his first detailed demonstration of the power of natural selection to explain complex ecological relationships, making testable predictions. As his health declined, he lay on his sickbed in a room filled with inventive experiments to trace the movements of climbing plants. Admiring visitors included Ernst Haeckel, a zealous proponent of Darwinismus incorporating Lamarckism and Goethe's idealism. Wallace remained supportive, though he increasingly turned to Spiritualism.
