CHARLES DARWIN

A hundred years ago people believed that plants and
animals had always been as they are now. They thought
that all the different sorts of living things, including
men and women, were put in thi s world by some
mysterious power a few thousand years ago.
It was Charles Darwin, born at Shrewsbury on, the
12th of February, 1809, who showed that this was just a
legend. As a boy Darwin loved to walk in the countryside, collecting insects, flowers and minerals. He liked
to watch his elder brother making chemical experiments.
These hobbies interested him much more than Greek
and Latin, which were his main subjects at school.
His father, a doctor, sent Charles to Edinburgh University to study medicine. But Charles did not like this.
He spent a lot of time with a zoologist friend, witching
birds and other animals, and collecting insects in the
country-side.
Then his father sent him to Cambridge to be trained
as a parson. But Darwin didn't want to be a doctor or a
parson. He wanted to be a biologist.
In 1831 he set sail for South America to make maps of
the coastline there. Darwin went in the ship to see the
animals and plants of other lands. On his voyage round
the world he looked carefully at thousands of living
things in the sea and on land and came to very important
conclusion. Later he wrote his famous work «The Origin
of Species*.
