Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, on the 12th of Frebruary, 1809. He developed an interest in Geology while he was in college; he attended Christ's College of Cambridge. On December 27, 1831, he set out on an expedition aboard the H.M.S Beagle, with captain Fitzroy. This expedition was set towards Tierra del Fuego, the Galapagos islands and ohter destinations, but its tru purpose was to study the topography of these areas. As Darwin hunted animals he saw the difference between species living in other countries, and started writing scientific journals about it.He came to a theory called the Theory of Natural Selection. It explains that living beings have to evolve over time to be able to adjust to their environment. The problem that he had with society, and eith his wife, was that this theory of Evolution went against religion. It stated that God hadn't created the world, and this would not be well toletared by people, because they were very religious at the time. His anguish was due to another man that had came to the same conclusion about evolution and was planning on publishing a book about it as well as Darwin. It was also caused by the tension of knowing that his theory might be rejected and all his work would have only been to turn people against him. In the end, Charles Darwin's theory is accepted in the modern world and is widely studied.
