21. Darwin Didn’t Publish His Theory on Evolution Immediately
Darwin spent most of his time with his work. When he wasn’t with his family, he worked in his office or lab conducting experiments. He also spends the majority of his time studying. In fact, Darwin often wrote about what he thought in his home.
The theory that Darwin is most known for, the Theory of Evolution, stayed hidden in his office for two decades. The only reason Darwin wrote about his opinion when he did is that he found out Alfred Russel Wallace had the same theory. Darwin knew he had to publish his information before Wallace went public.
