Charles Darwin (1809–1882) was an English naturalist, biologist, and geologist best known for developing the theory of evolution by natural selection, which revolutionized our understanding of life on Earth. His seminal work, On the Origin of Species (1859), provided extensive evidence that species evolve over time through adaptation to their environments. Darwin's observations during his voyage on the HMS Beagle, particularly in the Galápagos Islands, played a crucial role in shaping his ideas on variation and survival. His work remains foundational in biology, genetics, and paleontology, making him one of the most influential scientists in history.
