Charles Darwin

The King of Evolution

The British naturalist, Charles Darwin, could be called the "King of Evolution". His theories on Evolution laid the foundation for modern teachings of Evolution. The basis of his theories was the thought that humans and animals share a common ancestry. The Victorian society he lived in did not take these theories well. Upon the HMS Beagle, Darwin embarked on a 5 year journey. When he returned from this journey, he had brought back specimens of all kinds (bones, fossils, animals etc). After observing life on his journey, he cave up with the theory of Natural Selection. This was a major break through.
