In 1859 Charles Darwin's revolutionary The Origin of Species was first published but the book was as much a symptom of change as a cause. In that year scientists peered through microscopes and discovered the workings of tiny organisms; technology made huge leaps and bounds as machines took on tasks with a speed and consistency never before seen; the concepts of time and distance were themselves challenged as telegraph cables, train lines and steamships criss-crossed the globe; and everything was illuminated as powerful telescopes looked to the heavens and gas lamps lit the streets.
