About the author
Born in 1809, he was an English naturalist whose work laid the foundation for modern evolutionary biology. After studying at Edinburgh and Cambridge, he joined the voyage of HMS Beagle in 1831, a journey that gave him years of observations on plants, animals, fossils, and geography.
Those experiences eventually led to his theory of evolution by natural selection, presented most famously in On the Origin of Species in 1859. Rather than arriving at his ideas all at once, he built them slowly and carefully, drawing on decades of evidence.
He spent much of his later life writing and researching at Down House in Kent, producing influential books on subjects ranging from orchids to earthworms. He died in 1882 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, a sign of how deeply his work had shaped science and public thought.
