Charles Darwin

    February 12, 1809 – April 19, 1882

    Charles Darwin was an English naturalist whose seminal work revolutionized our understanding of life on Earth. With meticulous observation and geological insight, he proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory, positing that all species have evolved over time from common ancestors, became the bedrock of modern biology, providing a unifying explanation for the vast diversity of life. His extensive fieldwork, famously documented during his voyage, and subsequent publications established him not only as a towering scientific figure but also as a compelling author whose ideas continue to shape our perception of the natural world.
