The study of earthworms delves into their behavior and ecology, highlighting Darwin's theme of gradual change leading to significant outcomes. This work builds on his revolutionary ideas about evolution, suggesting that all species, including humans, share common ancestry. By challenging Victorian beliefs about Divine Providence and species permanence, Darwin established a new understanding of interdependence in nature. His exploration of earthworms exemplifies how small, incremental changes can yield unexpected results over time.
