Transcript
Charles Robert Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, England. He was the
fifth child and second son of Robert Waring Darwin and Susannah Wedgwood. Darwin was
the British naturalist who became famous for his theories of evolution and natural selection.
Like several scientists before him, Darwin believed all the life on earth evolved (developed
gradually) over millions of years from a few common ancestors.
He first studied medicine like his father but he was not interested so he studied natural history
and geology
From 1831 to 1836 Darwin served as a naturalist aboard the H.M.S. Beagle on a British
science expedition around the world.
On 29 January 1839 Darwin and Emma Wedgwood were married at Maer
The Darwins had ten children but three died
In 1859, following 30 years of study and travels, Darwin published a book called The Origin
of Species by Means of Natural Selection, which started a scientific revolution. It showed that
life is constantly changing and only the fittest organisms survive.
