Autorenporträt
Charles Darwin, born in 1809 in Shrewsbury, England, became one of the most influential naturalists in history. Initially studying medicine and theology, he shifted his focus to natural history, a passion that led him to join the HMS Beagle's five-year voyage around the world. During this journey, he collected specimens and recorded observations that laid the groundwork for his evolutionary theories.In 1859, Darwin published On the Origin of Species, where he introduced his theory of evolution by natural selection. He argued that species evolve gradually, with the best-adapted organisms more likely to survive and reproduce. This idea challenged traditional views and sparked intense debate, yet it provided a new framework for understanding life's diversity.Though controversial at first, Darwin's theory of natural selection eventually gained acceptance, transforming biological science. His contributions continued with later works like The Descent of Man. Darwin passed away in 1882 and was honored with burial in Westminster Abbey, leaving a legacy that remains central to modern biology.
