And today we'll talk about – Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin was known as a biologist, naturalist,
and geologist originally from Great Britain.
Darwin was famous as a biologist that developed
and proposed the theory of evolution in order
to describe the biological change.
Nowadays his contributions and ideas are widely
accepted, among them the theory which indicates
that species went through the natural selection
process and some of them were able to survive.
This selection was aimed to prepare species
to face the changing conditions of their habitat.
During his studies, Charles observed that
the species all over the world have similarities,
which fact led him to the thought that species
which exist today developed from common ancestors.
The book “On the Origin of Species” written
by Darwin in 1859 consists of his theory of
evolution with the satisfactory evidence,
defeating the scientifically rejected earlier
theories of the transmutation of species.
The association of scientists and the influential
educated people had finally accepted the evolution
by 1870th, but the discussions didn’t come
to the end.
In addition, Darwin conducted profound research
on marine invertebrates because he was fond
of exploring nature
