  Human Origins  
Deze waarnemingen overtuigden Darwin dat er een of andere vorm van evolutie had plaatsgevonden. Hij ontdekte ook fossielen van grote, uitgestorven Zuid-Amerikaanse zoogdieren, zoals de reuzenluiaard. Deze ontdekkingen waren moeilijk te verklaren op basis van de bijbelse zondvloed of de catastrofe-theorie, die door Cuvier werd aangehangen.
These observations convinced Darwin that some form of evolution had taken place. He also discovered fossils of large extinct South American mammals, such as the giant sluggard. These discoveries were hard to explain based on the sacred Deluge or the catastrophe theory, which Cuvier adhered to. This, and the conviction that the forming of land came about by means of a mechanism of gradual change, gave cause to Darwin to actually see such a gradual change as the relationship between living and fossil organisms. However, his theory lacked an explanation for the driving force behind these changes.

De jonge Charles werd uitgekozen om als natuuronderzoeker deel te nemen aan een reis van de "Beagle", een verkenningsschip van de Engelse Koninklijke Marine. De tocht naar Zuid-Amerika en de Stille Oceaan duurde vijf jaar.
Charles Darwin came from a family of medical doctors. His father was a medical doctor in Shewsbury and his grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, was a medical doctor and a naturalist. His point of view resembled Lamarck's view. The young Charles was chosen as a naturalist, to take part in a journey of the "Beagle", an exploration ship of the British navy. The voyage to South America and the Pacific Ocean lasted about five years. Darwin collected an enormous quantity of plants, animals and fossils. In this period Darwin's ideas on the origin of species were formed by his observations of plants and animals at the Calàpagos Islands, about a thousand kilometres west of Ecuador. The animals of the Calàpagos Islands resembled those of South America, but were not exactly the same. It was clear that at some point the animals reached these islands from South America somewhere in the past. In the course of time they changed and different, but closely related species, developed.

Tijdens zijn eerste bezoek aan Dart knielde Broom voor de schedel van Taung, om het fossiel eer te bewijzen. Broom was medicus, had in Australië fossielen van buideldieren bestudeerd en was een wereldwijd bekend deskundige op het gebied van zoogdierachtige reptielen uit Zuid-Afrika.
Finally, Dart did find someone who agreed with him, Robert Broom, who resided in Africa. During his first visit to Dart Broom knelt in front of the skull of Taung to honour the fossil. Broom was a physician, had studied fossils of marsupials in Australia and was well-known worldwide as an expert in the field of mammallike reptiles. He investigated the Taung skull as well and came to the conclusion that the interpretation of Dart had been correct. Broom was determined to find prove which would confirm Dart's discovery. He started a search for an adult version of the child of Taung. Thus, the hunt for the Australopithecus africanus proceeded unabatedly. Together with some of Dart's students Broom visited the limestone sediments of Sterkfontein in the neighbourhood of his residential town. They soon found fragments of fossils. On the age of eighty, after more than ten years of persistent searching, Broom found a complete skull. It had the small brainvolume of a man-ape, but walked like a human being. Dart's skull of Taung no longer stood on its own. The awareness of it not just being a funny, little skull, but belonging to a complete community, a population, penetrated. New evidence accumulated and the tide turned.
