Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England, on 12 th
February 1809. He came from a wealthy family and never had to work. He
studied medicine and theology. In 1831 he graduated from Cambridge
University with a degree in theology.
He began a career as a scientist quite by chance. On 27 th December
1831, 22 year-old Charles Darwin joined the crew of HMS Beagle as a
naturalist. The five-year expedition collected hydrographic, geologic, and
meteorologic data from South America and many other regions around the
world. Darwin’s own observation on this voyage led to his theory of natural
selection.
Charles Darwin was greatly influenced by the geologist Adam
Sedgwick and naturalist John Henslow in his development of theory of
natural selection, which was to become the foundation concept supporting
the theory of evolution. Darwin’s theory holds that environtmental effects
lead to varying degrees of reproductive success in individuals and groups of
organisms. Natural selection tends to promote adaptation in organisms
when necessary for survival. This revolutionary theory was published in
1859 in Darwin’s now famous On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural
Selection.
