Charles Robert Darwin
Charles Robert Darwin, born on February 12, 1809, in Shrewsbury, England, was a pioneering naturalist and biologist best known for his groundbreaking theory of evolution through natural selection, articulated in his seminal work 'On the Origin of Species' published in 1859. His extensive observations during the HMS Beagle expedition helped him formulate ideas that transformed the biological sciences and sparked profound debates about the origins of life and human existence. Darwin's legacy continues to influence various fields, including genetics and sociology, and his birthday is celebrated annually as Darwin Day to honor his contributions to science.
