Charles Darwin
When? Charles Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 and died on the 19 of April 1882
Where? Mr Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire then studied in Cambridge, England at Cambridge university. Darwin then traveled all around the world for his research including the Galapagos islands.
What? He developed the theory of evolution - showing how Man evolved from lower life forms. This changed how everyone understood the world because back then everyone believed in exactly what the bible said e.g. the world was created in seven days and that the world was several thousand years old.
Why? Charles was very passionate about natural science and was interested in finding out more.
How? Charles Darwin was offered a place on board a voyage along the coast of south America, there they visited different islands. Charles Darwin used his knowledge of natural science and the specimens he found on the journey to create the theory of evolution.
In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals
because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment.
