Charles Darwin's theory of evolution had a profound impact on society, particularly in the fields of science, philosophy, and religion. Darwin's theory challenged the prevailing belief that God created all life on Earth, and it led to heated debates over the role of science in understanding the origins of life. The theory also led to a new understanding of the interconnectedness of all life forms, and it inspired scientists to further explore the natural world. In the social sphere, Darwin's theory was used to justify social Darwinism, a philosophy that viewed the "survival of the fittest" as an acceptable basis for society.
