Early Life: Passions & Struggles - Ages 16-22
(1825-1831)
Ever since his youth, Charles Darwin had a craving and affinity for sciences. In adolescence, he found it extremely challenging to find proper teachings on this field of study due to the fact the it was considered dehumanizing in English public school. However, he eventually persevered, securing the education and degree he sought after for so long. With this knowledge now acquired, he was ready to start he great career. It all begins with a five year odyssey. Or rather, voyage. -
The beginning of the “New Nature” Ages 22-27
(1832-1837)
Over the course of this five year circumnavigation, Darwin observed and discovered many things. He found numerous amounts of fossils to study and indigenous life that shared similarities all over the world. All of these finding started turning the gears in Darwin’s head and helped to develop the theory that revolutionized the social understanding of nature and the scientific community forever. -
The Theory of “Natural Selection” Age 27
(1837-1839)
Upon returning from his adventures, Darwin immediately began to work on molding his theory into reality. For two years, he burned the mid-night oil to construct his first work that would astonish his fellow peers and the world. The theory of relativity was only the start of scientific shift that would later be nicknamed “Social Darwinism.” However, it would not be until two decades later and many revisions later, in 1859, that his work would finally be published for the first time. -
“Origin of the Species” Age 45
(1839-1859)
After many, many years of hard laborious experiments and research, Charles Darwin’s work finally reaches its apex. The Theory of Evolution was finally published in “Origins of a Species” in 1854 and was being recognized as an evolutionary study! It was making massive waves in the scientific community but Darwin was never finished. He continued to perform experiment to further solidify his theory and work for the next twenty two years until his death in 1882.
