Born Charles Robert Darwin February 12, 1809, in England, he took to exploring nature as a child. Spending his time collecting everything from birds’ eggs and seashells, to beetles and minerals and reading as much as he could. As a teenager, he spent his time studying chemistry, biology, botany, and geology leading him to go onto the University of Cambridge.  

In 1831 the curious Darwin boarded a ship called the HMS Beagle and set out on what would be a life-changing five-year voyage around the world. He spent his journey collecting and studying animal, plant and rock samples. 

From studying his immense collection of specimens he formulated his theory of evolution and natural selection and published in his legendary book “On the Origin of Species.” in 1859. The book contained large amounts of evidence supporting his ideas and became a landmark work in the field of biology.
