Charles Darwin
1809–1882
A curious observer of nature, he changed how people understand life on Earth by developing the theory of evolution through natural selection. His travels, careful note-taking, and patient years of study helped make On the Origin of Species one of the most influential books in science.

About the author
Born in Shrewsbury, England, in 1809, Charles Darwin first studied medicine at Edinburgh and then theology at Cambridge, but his deepest interest was always the natural world. A five-year voyage on HMS Beagle gave him the chance to study plants, animals, fossils, and landscapes across South America and beyond, experiences that shaped the ideas he would spend decades refining.
Darwin is best known for On the Origin of Species (1859), the book in which he presented the case for evolution by natural selection. He also wrote The Voyage of the Beagle and many other works on geology, plants, animals, and human evolution, building his arguments from close observation and an enormous amount of evidence.
He spent much of his later life at Down House in Kent, continuing his research despite recurring ill health. When he died in 1882, his work had already transformed modern biology, and he was buried in Westminster Abbey.
