    Charles Darwin - Alba Elvira Burgos

    Alba Elvira Burgos
    Charles Darwin was a British naturalist born in 1809 who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. He studied medicine but later switched to divinity, and in 1831 traveled the world on the HMS Beagle, making many discoveries. His observations of wildlife, especially finches in the Galapagos Islands, led him to understand that species evolve over generations through a process where favorable traits become more common. Darwin spent 20 years developing his theory of evolution by natural selection, publishing On the Origin of Species in 1859, which explained how evolution occurred through natural processes rather than divine design. His theory was highly controversial but became widely accepted among scientists.

    CHARLES

    DARWIN
    A L B A E LV I R A B U R G O S 4 º B
    BIOGRAPHY
    • Charles Darwin was born the 12th of
    February in 1809. In Shrewsbury, England.
    • He had siblings, and was the 5th of the 6
    children
    • His mother was Susannah Darwin, which was
    daughter of the famed potter Josiah
    Wedgwood
    • His father was Robert Waring Darwin a
    country doctor
    • He died the 19th of April in 1882. In Downe,
    England
    STUDIES

    • Darwin studied medicine at Edinburgh


    University but later switched to Divinity at
    Cambridge.
    • Charles Darwin also made studies about Natural
    Selection, where certain organisms in a species
    will get an adaptation that will give them a great
    advantage over Other organisms in the species.
    The organisms who gets these adaptations are
    random and is a part of evolution.
    HMS BEAGLE

    • In 1831, he traveled the world on the HMS Beagle (a


    ship that made a 5 year scientific expedition), he made
    many new discoveries of species an how they were
    related. The main island they visited was the
    Galapagos, where Darwin made the most amount of
    research. The tour lasted five years, and afterward
    Darwin made his theory of evolution based on his
    memories and journal entries.
    THE VOYAGE WAS QUITE LARGE
    THEORYS OF EVOLUTION
    • At that time, the majority of the population in Europe
    believed that God had created the world in 7 days, as it
    was described in the Bible.
    • The idea of evolution had been around for a long time
    (before Darwin) and most people dismissed it due to
    several reasons like: the lack of a real need for a theory,
    insufficient time to accomplish that change and the lack
    of any real mechanism hat might drive evolutionary
    change.
    • While on the HMS Beagle, Darwin read a book called
    “Principles of Geology” . Where it was suggested that the
    fossils found in the rocks were actually evidence of
    animals that had lived many thousands or millions of
    years ago.
    • The book argument was reinforced in Darwin’s own mind
    by the rich variety of animal life and the geological
    features he saw during his voyage.
    BEGGING OF DARWIN’S THEORY OF
    EVOLUTION
    • Darwin noticed that each island supported its own form of
    finch (a type of bird) which were closely related but differed
    in important ways.
    • On his return to England in 1836. Darwin tried to solve the
    riddles of these observations and the puzzle of how species
    could evolve.
    • Another scholar of the time, Thomas Malthus, studied
    populations and had a great impact on Darwin’s
    understanding of finches, and his theory of evolution.
    • Malthus believed that given unlimited resources, a
    population would grow exponentially.
    • Influenced by the ideas of Malthus, Darwin proposed a
    theory of evolution occurring the process of natural selection
    DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION
    • Charles Darwin’s Theory of evolution is that each species is
    evolved from an older species, a process that can take
    millions of years but slowly a specie can completely change
    and become something different. They will evolve based on
    their environment to benefit themselves and gives
    themselves an advantages over other species.
    • Darwin worked in this theory for 20 years. After learning
    form another naturalist, Alfred Russel Wallace, had
    developed similar ideas, the two made a joint announcement
    of their discovery in 1858.
    • In 1859 Darwin published the book “On the Origin of
    Species by Means of Natural Selection”
    • The book was extremely controversial, because the logical
    extension of Darwin’s theory was that Homo sapiens was
    simply another form of animal.
    OTHER BOOKS FROM DARWIN

    • He published numerous other books:


    – He examined human evolution and sexual
    selection in “The Descent of Man” and
    “Selection in Relation to Sex” and “The
    Expression of the Emotions in Man and
    Animals”
