When does Darwin refer to human beings in 'the origin of species'???

Question

i'm looking for a section in the book "the origin of species" by charles darwin in which he was thinking about human beings as well as other organisms when he put forth his theory of evolution???

Answer 1

Darwin carefully steered away from expressly addressing the evolution of man in "The Origin of Species" - he waited until 1871 before publishing "The Descent of Man", which is where he addresses the evolution of humanity.

Answer 3

The only mention of human evolution in Origin of Species is in one sentence in the conclusion to the last chapter (Chap. 14), where Darwin muses on future research: "Light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history."
