Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin was a British naturalist, geologist, and biologist, best known for his contributions to the understanding of evolution through his theory of natural selection. His landmark work, 'On the Origin of Species', published in 1859, laid the foundation for the field of evolutionary biology and challenged conventional views of creation and species permanence. Darwin’s observations during his voyage on the HMS Beagle, including the diverse flora and fauna of the Galápagos Islands, profoundly influenced his ideas about adaptation and species evolution. His work has had a lasting impact on science and society, prompting discussions about the relationship between science and religion, and influencing various fields beyond biology, including psychology and sociology.
