**__Charles Darwin__**      February 12, 1809-April 19, 1882   

  Dates and where he worked...    Charles Darwin’s father Robert was a wealthy physician with one of the largest medical practices outside of London. Darwin developed a interest in natural history as a young boy, but was schooled in medicine, bur he soon learned that he did not like it. Darwin went to school at Cambridge. Charles Darwin is the reason that we believe in natural selection and the reason that we believe in evolution today. His theories are the foundation of biology. Darwin wrote a total of nineteen books, his most famous and historic work //Of the Origin of Species// published in 1859 when he was 50 years old. He published his ideas on the origin of species when he returned from his voyage in 1836. 

 Main Beliefs and Achievements...  <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #080708; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Charles Darwin achieved many great things throughout his life. One of his many achievements is that he founded the theory of evolution, and said that all species of life have evolved over time from one or a few common ancestors through the process of natural selection. He provided a logical explanation for the diversity of life. Also another achievement made bt Charles Darwin is that he made many studies in the Galapagos Islands. Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection is now the foundation of biology.

Quote By Charles Darwin...  "Ignorance more freuently begets confidence than doe's knowledge: it is thoes who know little, not thoes who know much, who so positively that this or that problem will never be solved by science" -Charles Darwin

Also survival of the fittest is based off of Darwin’s book //Of the Origin of Species.// Darwin’s work had a big impact on religious thought; many people opposed the idea of evolution because it conflicted with their religious convictions. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">   <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 110%; color: #b904b3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Notebook activity...
