About the author
1809–1882 · Victorian
Charles Darwin (1809–1882) was born in Shrewsbury, studied medicine at Edinburgh and for the Church at Cambridge, and sailed as naturalist on HMS Beagle from 1831 to 1836. The theory of natural selection took shape in his notebooks from 1837; he published it in On the Origin of Species in 1859, after Alfred Russel Wallace arrived at the same idea, and developed it in The Descent of Man (1871) and later works. He lived and worked at Down House in Kent for forty years.
