Beyond the Textbooks: Historical Figures Whose Lives Were Anything But Ordinary!
Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin was a British naturalist who changed the way we think about the natural world with his theory of evolution by natural selection. Born in 1809 in Shrewsbury, England, Charles was fascinated by nature from a young age. His voyage on the HMS Beagle in 1831 was a turning point, providing him with invaluable observations that led to his groundbreaking work.
In his most famous book, “On the Origin of Species,” published in 1859, Charles proposed that species evolve over time through a process of natural selection, where the fittest survive and reproduce. This idea was controversial but eventually became a fundamental concept in biology.
