Charles Darwin is famous for his theory of evolution, which he published in his book On the Origin of Species.
Darwin proposed that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors. He argued that natural selection is the main mechanism by which evolution occurs. His theory of evolution is the foundation of modern evolutionary biology.
Darwin’s research on the HMS Beagle voyage led him to develop his theory of evolution, as well as important contributions to geology, botany, and zooology. He also made important contributions to the fields of geology, botany, and zooology. Darwin is one of the most influential scientists in history; his work has been used to support both scientific and political agendas since it was first published.
