Charles Darwin was an English scientist and naturalist born in 1809 who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. He studied medicine and theology at the University of Edinburgh before switching to Cambridge where he intended to become a clergyman. In 1831, Darwin joined the HMS Beagle expedition as a naturalist, spending 5 years traveling around the world. His observations of wildlife, especially finches and tortoises on the Galapagos Islands, helped him develop the theory that organisms evolve over generations through a process of natural selection. He published On the Origin of Species in 1859, which shocked the world by challenging religious beliefs and placing humans on the same evolutionary level as animals.
