Early Childhood
Charles Robert Darwin was raised in The Mount House in Shrewbury, the Untied Kingdom in which he began his journey to becoming one of the most famous scientists who hypothesized the Theory of Evolution. -
Education
In his early life, Darwin was unlike his father who was a medical doctor. He was much more interested in chemistry due to medicine's rote learning methods. However, in the English school system science was seen as a degrading subject, which leads to his father enrolling him into the University of Edinburgh Medical School which later lead to no degree. -
University of Edinburgh
During the French Revolution, Darwin learned many ideals from English dissenters. The men were barred from Universities and looked to be troublesome due to their unusual understanding of life and the many thoughts of evolution based upon the similarities between both humans and animals alike. Though later on these views were completely censored from being appropriate in these conservative times. -
Beagle Voyage
Once Darwin learned of his favoring of anatomy and interest in the world, he went on The Beagle voyage across the world to find the many differences and similarities organisms each share. Darwin would observe many different species around many different parts of South America.He was also able to find the ancestors of animals through the Pampas fossils including the anteater and armadillos. -
Beagle Voyage Continues
Also, during this time Darwin collected 26 different birds throughout the Galápagos Island in Ecuador known as the Galápagos Finches. During this time, he was able to lean that these discoveries gave a large understanding of evolutionary adaption and that each of these birds wasn't different species but all finches. -
Death
By dying of a type of heart disease, Darwin would later leave many in disbelief with his theories on evolution by creating the book The Descent of Men, which outlines his many theories and findings in his livelihood. -
