Charles Robert Darwin

02/12/1809 - 04/19/82

An English naturalist who realised and demonstrated that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors through the process he called natural selection.

Charles Darwin wrote "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" in 1859. He also wrote "The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex" and "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals".


Charles Darwin said, "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."
