Why Do We Remember Charles Darwin?

Charles Darwin

The English scientist Charles Darwin is remembered for his ideas for evolution, which he developed after years of study and voyage of exploration.

During these explorations, he discovered that many small islands had population of unique creatures.

Darwin was able to prove how these creatures differed from their close relatives elsewhere. For example, he found a unique range of animal life in the Galapagos Islands.

Charles Darwin is remembered of his famous book ‘Origin of Species’.

Charles Robert Darwin FRS (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist[I] who realised and presented compelling evidence that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors,[1][2] through the process he called natural selection. The fact that evolution occurs became accepted by the scientific community and much of the general public in his lifetime,[3] but it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensus developed that natural selection is the basic mechanism of evolution.[4] In modified form, Darwin’s scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, explaining the diversity of life.
