The document discusses two major intellectual revolutions: [1] The Copernican Revolution of the 16th century when Nicholas Copernicus proposed that planets revolve around the sun rather than Earth being the center of the universe, contradicting the prevailing geocentric model; [2] The Darwinian Revolution in the 19th century when Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection and presented evidence that species evolve over time through heritable traits, as introduced in his books On the Origin of Species and The Descent of Man. These revolutions influenced major conceptual changes in cosmology, religion, physics, and philosophy.
