Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England on February 12, 1809. In 1831 Darwin was appointed a position as a naturalist where he spent his working life on a 5 year voyage around the world on the boat HMS Beagle. On his voyage he formulated theories of evolution through his studies of specimens around the World. Darwin died on April 19, 1882 and lived for 73 years.
During Charles Darwin’s work life, many naturalists believed that organisms came into this world and remained the same over a period of time. But, on Darwin’s 5 year voyage he studied many similarities among species from different environments and regions, leading him to formulate the theory that they had evolved from ancestors. He published the book, “On the Origin of Species”.
