                                     On the Origin of Species in 1859, he
                                     set out his own ideas on their origin
                    and claimed that this was based on various mechanisms
                   of the imaginary evolutionary process.
                       According to his thinking, evolution led to minute
                   changes in species through these mechanisms; and these
                  differences then increased, until every new living species
                  developed from some previous one, as a result of very small
                  changes. Again according to the theory, living species are
                  not distinguished from one another by major anatomical
                                         differences, but begin diverging
                                         from one another through minus-
                                          cule variations.
                                               This implies that all living
                                           things are related to one an-
                                            other. One living species ex-
