Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin laid the foundations of modern science and his theory of Evolution has changed the course of science forever. Darwin suggested that all humans come from a common ancestor and that we evolved over time thanks to a process called evolution.

He is one of the most celebrated naturalists in history and though, he may be a controversial figure among many religious groups, his theory is now proven as fact. He was not accepted by fellow scientists and religious institutions, alike. His idea of natural selection and evolution was published in his 1859 piece, “On the Origin of Species.”
