About the author
Charles Robert Darwin (1809–1882) was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist whose work reshaped the study of the natural world. Born in Shrewsbury, England, he developed an early passion for collecting and natural history before studying at the universities of Edinburgh and Cambridge.
From 1831 to 1836, Darwin traveled around the world aboard HMS Beagle, carefully observing plants, animals, fossils, and geological formations. These experiences helped him develop his explanation of evolution by natural selection—the idea that species change over generations as individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.
Darwin presented this theory in On the Origin of Species (1859), followed by works including The Descent of Man (1871). His ideas sparked controversy but became foundational to modern evolutionary biology and continue to influence science today.
