Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin was born in 1809 in Shrewsbury, England and died in 1882. Darwin was a British naturalist who became famous for his theories of evolution and natural selection. Darwin always had a belief like a common scientist that life on earth evolved over millions of years from common ancestors. In a trip Darwin made to South America he found fossils of extinct animals that where similar to modern species. Darwin's theory of evolution states that every living thing in this planet is descendents of common ancestors. The natural selection acts by preserving the animal’s bones for many years. During Darwin's years people where commonly very religious and believed powerfully in God. Do to this religious issue Darwin was afraid of publishing his book about his theory because they would attack him because he believes in other theory of creation than the one that God created us and every living thing in the Earth. Darwin had so much anguish on developing his theory because of his family. His wife was very religous women and also his kids. Darwin lost 2 kids because of illness and he suffered of stress because of all the problems he had in his mind and the doubt of publishing or not his theory to demonstrate the world that he was correct.
