Charles DarwinCharles Darwin was a English naturalist. Born in 12nd February
1809 in Shrewsbury. He died on April 19, 1882 (73 years). Charles
Robert Darwin came to the conclusion that all living species have
evolved over time from common ancestors through a process
called natural selection, (Simplifying) discovered the theory of
evolution. The evolution was accepted as fact by the scientific
community and much of the public in his lifetime, while his theory of
evolution by natural selection was not considered as the primary
explanation of the evolutionary process until 1930, and currently is thebasis of modern evolutionary theory. Amended, the scientific
discoveries of Darwin are still the foundation charter of biology as a
science, since they constitute a logical explanation that unifies
observations about the diversity of life. At just 16 years Darwin entered the
University of Edinburgh, but it was giving up his medical studies to pursue research on
marine invertebrates. The publication of the diary of his trip made him famous and popular
writer.
