Charles Darwin is one of the most versatile researchers in the history of mankind.
A naturalist, a traveler, an author of the theory of evolution this is a small part of his extensive achievements and merits.
Childhood and youth A brief biography of Darwin will not describe the scientist's huge contribution to the development of modern disiplines, but it begins in 1809.
The scientist was born on February twelfth in an English large family in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.
According to the data that Darwin left about himself, the biography reports that the boy's father was engaged in finance.
He was also a successful doctor.
The activities of Robert Darwin allowed the family to live comfortably.
Subsequently, the father was proud of the fact that his son - Ch.
Darwin.
A brief biography of the scientist confirms that the father and son supported each other all their lives.
The boy's mother left our world in 1817, and very little information has been preserved about her.
A brief biography of Darwin tells us that Charles ' grandfather, Erasmus, was a doctor, philosopher, and writer.
In general, all the family members were people with a high level of intelligence and culture.
What kind of education did Darwin receive?
The biography tells that in 1817 he began a course of study at a local day school, and a year later he was transferred to an Anglican one.
Young Charles was a very intelligent child.
But at the same time, he did not like to study at school and considered the school curriculum extremely boring.
In his spare time, he preferred to collect and study insects, shells, unusual stones.
I observed natural processes – the flowering of trees and shrubs, the flow of rivers, the direction of the wind.
He was fond of hunting and fishing.
Charles Darwin.
A brief biography.
University education In 1825, his father heeded his son's requests and sent him to study at the University of Edinburgh.
Robert wanted to see the boy as a continuation of the medical dynasty.
He devoted a lot of time to studying biology, in particular, marine invertebrates, algae.
He was fond of taxidermy, natural history and geology.
He took an active part in the activities of the university Museum, where the largest collection of plants in Europe was collected.
After two "terribly boring" years of training, he abandoned his studies.
At the insistence of an angry father, he decides to transfer to the theological faculty of Cambridge, where teachers will be able to learn the name that later thundered all over the world - Ch.
Darwin.
The biography mentions that the applicant thoughtfully reads church books for admission.
He studies individually with a teacher in his native Shrewsbury.
Darwin opens a new page in his life.
The biography tells about this period of the great scientist's life: immediately after the end of the Christmas holidays in 1828, he successfully passes the entrance exams.
The years of training were remembered for riding lessons, hunting, collecting beetles, studying literature, mathematics, physics, geography.
He graduated in 1831.
Despite the fact that he did not shine with special success during his studies, the knowledge gained allowed Darwin to be in the list of the top ten graduates.
After graduating from the university, he began to doubt the truth of the dogmas of Christianity even more.
Charles Darwin: a brief biography.
Naturalistic activity In the endless search for the realization of potential, the scientist meets the famous botanist John Henslow, who accepted the graduate into the team of researchers of the nature of South America on the ship "Beagle".
Subsequently, the eminent scientist was very happy that Ch.
Darwin.
The biography, studied in detail by historians of science, confirms this statement.
Charles ' father was against the trip, considering it a waste of time.
Only thanks to the intervention of his uncle, Josiah Wedgwood II, Robert Darwin gave up and gave a parting blessing to his son.
For more than five years of travel, the team has visited Peru, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Europe, Australia, and Africa.
In the Galapagos Islands, the researcher was particularly interested in mockingbirds, which were somewhat different from those living in England.
He studied turtles, the species of which differed even on neighboring islands.
The scientist studied the local territories, flora and fauna with interest.
The result of the expedition was a huge collection of stones, minerals, herbs, stuffed animals and birds.
Descriptions of the appearance and anatomy of many invertebrates were made.
All the observations were recorded in a diary, on which Charles relied when writing scientific papers in the next twenty years.
The research was published under the title "Traveling around the world on the ship "Beagle".
The scientist has gained worldwide fame both in the scientific community and among ordinary people.
In addition, Charles formed a vocation and meaning in life – Darwin did not see life without science.
Scientific activity In a five year journey, he grew up as a scientist Darwin.
The biography reports that after its completion, Charles moves to Cambridge.
But very soon he moves to London, where he joins the society of scientists, with whom he mainly communicates for the next five years.
This period of Charles ' life was marked by a stormy, fruitful activity – fundamental works were written, many hours were spent in heated discussions.
For the love of persistent striving to prove thoughts and ideas, the researcher is chosen as the chief secretary of the Society of Geologists.
The desire for change Life in a large city puts more and more pressure on the scientist.
And the body is getting worse at coping with attacking diseases.
In 1839, he married Emma Wedgwood and in 1842 moved to the acquired estate "Dawn".
Subsequently, his wife would give birth to ten descendants to Darwin.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Charles can fully devote himself to his favorite activities – walking, fishing, hunting, observing nature, a solid inheritance and income from written books allow you to plunge into your favorite things.
In 1842, Darwin's work "The Zoology of Travel on the Beagle "was written.
In 1859, the revolutionary book "The Origin of Species by Natural Selection"was published at that time.
The author's arguments contradicted the accepted opinion in society, supported by the scriptures of the Bible about how the world was created.
The works described in detail why it is worth considering the possibility of millions of years of independent development of nature – plants, animals, and humans.
Subsequently, the theory was named after the researcher – "Darwinism".
The idea was carefully supported by the material obtained during many years of observations.
"Darwinism" became very popular and, despite the scandalousness, brought a good profit to the scientist.
Further works and achievements In 1862, the book "Pollination of orchids" was published, then - "Climbing plants" and "Insectivorous plants".
In 1868 - the continuation of "The Origin of species..."
- "The change of domestic animals and cultivated plants".
In 1871, the book "The Origin of Man and Sexual Selection" saw the world.
And in 1872 - "The expression of emotions in humans and animals", in which the scientist considered the origin of man from ape like ancestors.
Of course, they did not have such popularity, but they allowed the scientist to receive several prestigious awards, including the Kople Gold Medal from the Royal Society of London.
In the following years, he became an honorary doctor of Sciences at the Universities of Breslau, Bonn, and Leiden, as well as a corresponding member of the St. Petersburg Academy.
It should be noted that the Russian Orthodox Church did not favor the works of the scientist and tried in every possible way to denigrate him.
Many representatives of the intelligentsia had to stand up for protection.
Alexey Konstantinovich Tolstoy actively defended what the scientist believed in.
The biography confirms this data.
Memory The famous scientist left our world on the nineteenth of April, 1882 at the age of seventy three.
Despite his worldwide fame, his descendants remembered him as a modest, friendly, tactful person.
The scientist Darwin, whose biography is studied in all modern universities, is buried in Westminster Abbey, near Isaac Newton.
Conclusion Charles Darwin became one of the most prominent scientists of all time.
His works proving the origin of living beings from common ancestors are the basis of the modern synthetic theory of evolution, biology, as well as genetics.
Directed by John Amiel, a short autobiography of Darwin was shot the 2009 film "The Origin of Species".
Recognized as one of the most outstanding Britons of all time.
