Charles Darwin Now Online
Charles Darwin’s first draft called On The Origin Of Species is one of his most priced possession published and the theory that changed science is now available online since last Thursday.
On his website found more than 90,000 images and 20,000 items, the release of the website according to the organizers from Cambridge University Library which holds all the Darwin papers, is the largest in history.
This release makes his private papers, mountains of notes, experiments, and research behind his world-changing publications available to the world for free. His publications have always been available in the public sphere - but these papers have until now only been accessible to scholars, said John van Wyhe, director of the project.

Hi Joanjoyce,
Charle Darwin was one of the foremost scientists of his time who advanced the theory of evolution. Essentially, that apes evolved into homo sapiens (man). It was a controversial theory at the time, although this has been disputed by more recent research and the Discovery Channel explanations of findings.
The theory holds true about the evolution of almost all species of plants and animals. His only drawback was the evolution of Man. He referred to a missing link, from apes to man, that he could not find to make a precise connection. Recent discoveries about a homo erectus lived almost 3million years ago are now referred to as the possible missing link Darwin was looking for. Darwins research only found species as old as 5,000 years if I’m not mistaken.
However, this is worth reading and a good scientific trip that would create a systematic way of thinking and viewing things for those who are interested to learn and be truly educated.
–Durano, done!

This is indeed one of the most interesting and controversial theory. And you made an interesting point too, that if all human evolved from Apes, then there would not be any left. Probably there are some other factors that contribute to the evolution.

maybe some apes were late for the evolution period so they remain monkeys instead of evolving to humans, lol!
