Evo Devo
Evolution can be broken down from a whole species to an individual level. Homo sapiens and the rest of the "kingdom" come together as a whole to adapt, migrate, survive, grow, etc. We must do this - go forward, constantly move ahead; that's evolution. On a biological scale, we have learned so much about different species - why that species is in a particular location, what brought them there, how they survive. For humans, that's a major accomplishment. Humans as a species are so young and we test our intelligence just like we do other species. Scientists originally described neanderthals as unintelligent; however, they were probably more intelligent than first thought.
It's almost like we're setting ourselves up for something. Why are we here? Are we preparing for something apocalyptic? Are we gathering information for a reason, other than sheer curiosity? Those questions have been asked so many times and nobody has a definite answer. Interestingly, humans have formed groups to help out other species, including ourselves. This could be a form of altruism. Maybe even as to say that some humans have formed altruistic behaviors to help maintain Earth...? A mother will lift a car off her baby and Jane Goodall will go into the jungle and take care of gorillas; it's a "motherly instinct " to do so. We all have that instinct, it's just natural.
Darwinism
Darwinism doesn't just matter to me, it just matters. His theories have circulated for over 100 years now, and he's still considered to be like a "father" of the evolutionary theory. He's the pioneer, the first one to put it in writing. His theories opened up many, many, many cans of worms. You can't build a reliable house without a stable foundation. He provided that foundation for so many of our own theories, from biological theories to religious theories.

I just wrote a blurb on Darwinism, and as I tried to formulate my thoughts in response to reading the long articles presented- it came down to the very same conclusion as what you've written: Darwinism is simply the foundation for evolutionary theory. His research and material has provided scientists and laymen alike the ability to understand evolution and examine it from many levels. This could not have happened without his initial undertaking and interest in development of the species. I have always agreed and appreciate what I know of Darwin and believe in natural selection, and the "father" of evolutionary theory.
