Charles Darwin

1809 CE1882 CE · Shrewsbury, England

Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist and geologist whose theory of evolution by natural selection reshaped the biological sciences. His observations during the voyage of HMS Beagle led to On the Origin of Species (1859), which argued that species descend with modification from common ancestors. He is the naturalist of that name, not his physicist grandson Charles Galton Darwin nor his grandfather Erasmus Darwin.
