I've read a lot of literature - more specifically, anthropology and biology texts - principal concern of which has been centered on the theory Darwin produced and not so much on the way he produced it. If I remember correctly, his first work (whether first published or first begun) was a study of barnacles. His exhaustive documentation included well-intentioned illustrations of the subjects he studied. His (near) contemporaries were coming up with similar theories (Lamarck for instance) but Darwin and others of his time and before were consumed with the science. Loving what you do might help you gain that focus.
While important that we seek to generalize, it's equally important that we seek to know, deeply what we care to know about
