Or have there been any studies that might conflict with Darwin's theories?

@OP
If you do not, at this very moment, accept that natural selection is, in fact, the driving force behind biological evolution, then, indeed, I genuinely pity you. Thanks.

I dunno, I don't keep up with developing news regarding evolution. I do not see why there would be any small details that'll conflict since he wrote the words down and now.

The theory has been refined and revised a bit, but the gist of it is still the same. There are some different camps regarding thing like primary factors driving evolution or the primary unit of evolution. They all pretty much see the same basic process (evolution via selection based on environmental factors) in place, they just argue about the how and why.
