THE BEGINNING
Charles Darwin was known as of the father of Modern Biology or the father of evolution. Darwin was a thinker. He challenged the theories of his time and was fearless during the process of his evolution. Darwin was born in February of 1809 in England to doctor Robert Waring Darwin and Susannah Wedgwood (Britannica, 2023). Being an Aquarius, there’s no wonder he was so bold and daring. -
THE STUDY
After the passing of his mother, he became the caregiver to his siblings. His father sent him to study medicine at Edinburgh University to broaden his skillset. This when he started studying science. He learned about natural science such as classifying plants and cooling of rocks on the primitive earth. -
THE VOYAGE
After two years of his studies, Darwin decided to leave the University and was hired as the Ship’s Naturalist on the HMS Beagle which took a trip around the world. Throughout his exploration, he developed his theory of evolution for natural selection. -
THE EVOLUTION
After his exploration, there was another scientist that also shared the same theories and analogies as Darwin, Alfred Wallace who also reached out to Darwin to share his wisdom. What laid the foundation was the book of literature titled, The Origin of Species. This book was considered the evolution of biology. It runs through the organisms on earth and their evolution through life. To learn more, visit https://youtu.be/UVx4Z3W6U-Y. -
