Charles Darwin By Andrew Muniz 2004-2005 Life • Born in Shrewsbury, England on February twelfth 1809. • His grandfather was a naturalist and delved in evolution theories of past naturalists. • His Grandfather influenced his career selection. College • Went to Edinburgh university to study theology, but left to Cambridge university. • At Cambridge university, studied anatomy and biology in general. • He majored in the field of anatomy and other fields in biology. H.M.S. Beagle • Charles Darwin was the naturalist aboard the H.M.S. Beagle, the boat that went on the expedition around the world. • The scientific crew onboard went around the world to better the world of science. South America • He found fossils that intrigued and he decided to collect them for further study when he returned to London. • All fossils collected would be used to help with his theories Galapagos Island • Darwin decided to study the different types of finches that appeared in the Galapagos islands. This is because the species changed greatly island to island. • These studies further allowed him to amass more supportive cases for his theories. Aftermath • After the expedition he marries his cousin Emma Wedgwood. • He returns to London conduct work on his theories on evolution. • He came up with the four theories: evolution has occurred, most evolution induced change is gradual. Origin of species • About ten years later Darwin compiled many of his theories and published them in his book, “The Origin of Species” This book was a best seller in the first in its first year of being published. It also shook the foundations of many religions that follow creationism. Natural selection • Another one of Darwin’s theories. This theory that species choose to pass on their more favorable traits to their offspring that their less helpful traits. • This theory as well as others caused loads and loads of controversy. Mainly among religious leaders and Darwinists. Theological opinion • Many people have looked for Darwin’s opinion on religion. The thing is that they’ll never find one since he respected the thoughts of his family, friends, and his colleagues. • Died on April, 19 1882. He died of a disease he contracted at the Galapagos islands the first time he went there. • Many religious leaders that were there trying to disprove evolution said that he had renounced it. This is a lie since his daughter and other family members can tell otherwise. Death Darwinism • Scientists and other people have followed Darwin’s theories to the point that they have used his works as their first form of logic. • They try to disprove all religion that they encounter but seem to contradict themselves every time. About the author • I am Andrew Muniz and I like to play video games and read novels that would give most people a migraine. I also laugh, a lot. If I start laughing… I WON’T STOP! I also like Final Fantasy, A LOT!
