    Charles Darwin was born in 1809 in England and studied medicine at Edinburgh University before transferring to Cambridge to study theology. In 1831, he accepted an invitation to serve as the naturalist on the HMS Beagle, embarking on a five-year voyage of discovery that would profoundly influence his work. After returning to England in 1836, Darwin began developing his theory of evolution by natural selection and published On the Origin of Species in 1859, revolutionizing scientific thought. He continued publishing influential works on evolutionary topics until his death in 1882.
