Darwin

Charles Robert Darwin (February 12, 1809 - April 19, 1882) was an English naturalist who postulated that all species of living things have evolved over time from a common ancestor through a process called natural selection. The evolution was accepted as fact by the scientific community and much of the public life of Darwin, while his theory of evolution by natural selection was not considered the primary explanation of the evolution process until the 1930s, and now forms the basis of the modern evolutionary synthesis. As amended, the scientific discoveries of Darwin still the founding act of biology as a science, since they constitute a logical explanation that unifies observations about the diversity of life.
