Charles Darwin

1809 – 1882

Charles Darwin (1809–1882) was a British naturalist renowned for his contributions to evolutionary biology. Educated at the University of Edinburgh and Christ's College, Cambridge, he embarked on a pivotal voyage aboard the HMS Beagle, where his observations of diverse species led to his theory of natural selection. His seminal work, "On the Origin of Species" (1859), revolutionized biological sciences. Darwin also authored "The Descent of Man" (1871) and "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals" (1872), further establishing his scientific credibility.
