Darwin

Charles Darwin was an English naturalist which was born in February 12, 1809 in England. He became famous because of his theories of evolution and natural selection. He believed that all life on earth evolved over millions of years. He came out with his theory when he set out in the H.M.S Beagle to do an expedition all around the world where he studied plants and animals and gathered information about them. With everything that he studied he concluded with the theory of natural selection that states that nature will select who survives and who does not and if a animal does not adapt to their environment then they will die or become extinct including their characteristics. Back in Darwin's days this theory was not accepted because of religious views. Charles Darwin did not want to talk much about his theory because he did not want people to take his ideas away until his book came out and everyone would read it and be surprised with every idea he had in mind. In my opinion Charles Darwin was a great naturalist who wanted to experience things by himself being original and seeing the world in a different way, he died in April 19, 1882.
