Charles Darwin, a scientist and theorist, studied the mysteries of evolution. He explored different ecosystems that inhabited many animals; studying the different species of the creatures that lived within the areas. Ultimately he creating the “Theory of Evolution” and explained the growth of species throughout time. “Charles Robert Darwin was born on February 12, 1809, in Shrewsbury. He was the fifth of six children born to a wealthy family.”(Angyal and Andrew J. 1) “In 1825, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, but actually completed his degree in theology.”( Angyal and Andrew J. 2)As a hobby he studied natural history, and he collected beetles. Darwin went on geological field trips and became very friendly with the natural history faculty at his universities. …show more content…
On his trip he gathered support for his theory of evolution. “In 1837, Darwin had begun his first notebook on the ‘species question’”( Angyal and Andrew J. 3) One of the most well known trip was to the Galapagos Islands. Studying the species of tortoises and finches, Darwin noticed that although the environment on each island is similar the the species are different. Darwin’s theory has been named the theory of evolution. The theory was first formulated in his book “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection”. “The book ultimately became one of the most widely read and socially significant works of scientific literature ever printed.” (Garcia 1) In Origin of Species Darwin does not use the term “Evolution” instead he prefers “descent with modification”.n his theory he explains that the process occurs through a biological change that he named “natural selection”. He explains that natural selection is the organism's way to adapt to its
