Charles Darwin
Charles Robert Darwin (1809–1882) was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist best known for developing the theory of evolution by natural selection, outlined in his seminal 1859 book On the Origin of Species. His observations during the five-year voyage of the HMS Beagle, particularly in the Galápagos Islands, led him to propose that all species descend from common ancestors through gradual adaptation to their environments. Darwin's ideas revolutionized biology and philosophy, though they faced significant controversy in Victorian England.
