Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882) was an English naturalist and traveler who demonstrated that all living organisms evolve over time from common ancestors. Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire and studied natural history from a young age. After graduating from university, in 1831 Darwin served as a naturalist on the HMS Beagle expedition, traveling around the world for nearly five years and studying geology and natural history. His observations on the voyage, such as the uniqueness of Australian marsupials, led Darwin to develop his theory of evolution by natural selection. After returning to England in 1836, Darwin worked to publish his theories over several decades, releasing On the Origin of Species in 1859.

• By the time he joined the day
school in 1817, eight years
Darwin has joined the natural
history and collecting. Since
September 1818 he, along with
his elder brother Erasmus (born
Erasmus Alvey Darwin) attends
the nearest school
Shrusberskuyu Anglican
(English Shrewsbury School) as
a boarder. Before leaving with

asked him to go to Cambridge
Christian College and a priest
Anglican priest. Darvin began
to learn, but, according to
Darwin himself, he is too
absorbed in learning, devoting
more time to ride , shooting
guns and hunting (the benefit
of attending lectures was a
matter of voluntary).

5. • He became a close friend and
follower of botany professor John
Stevens Genslou (born John Stevens
Henslow). Due to familiarity with
Genslou he met with other leading
naturalists, becoming known in their
circles as "one who walks with
Genslou." When the exams
approached, Darwin focused on his
studies. At this time, he reads "The
proof of Christianity" by William
Paley, whose language and the
presentation of Darwin's delight. At
the end of training, in January
1831, Darwin is well advanced in
theology, and studied classical
literature, mathematics and
physics, eventually became the 10th
in the list of 178 successful
candidates.

• Descriptions of the island of
Tenerife, which results in
Humboldt, Darwin, and infect his
friends the idea to go there, at the end
of training sessions for the natural
history in the tropics. Two weeks
later, having returned after a short
geological tour of North Wales, he
finds a letter from Genslou, in which
he recommended Darwin as a
suitable person for the post of unpaid
naturalist Captain "Beagle", Robert
FitzRoy, under whose command of
four weeks to begin the expedition to
the shores of South America.

7. • In 1831, after graduating
from university as a
naturalist, Darwin went on a
trip around the world on the
expedition ship of the Royal
Navy "Beagle", where he
returned to England just 2
October 1836. Trips lasted
nearly five years. Most of the
time, Darwin spends on the
coast, studying geology and
collecting natural history
collections.

8. • Seen them in the Australian
marsupial rat kangaroo and
the platypus seemed so
strange that this led Darwin
to the idea, as if at least two
of the creator at the same
time worked to create this
world. In the 1838-1841
years. Darwin was the
secretary of the London
Geological Society. In 1839
he married, and in 1842 th
wife moved from London to
Down (Kent), where they
reside permanently.
Here, Darwin led a solitary
and measured life of the
