Books by Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin (1802-1882) was an English naturalist, biologist, and geologist - best known for his theory of evolution. His childish interest in nature nudged him into new adventures, including a lionized voyage on a beagle that sailed in 1831 on a journey that would last five years and in which he made his first discoveries. These examinations would later become the cornerstone of his work and would pave the way for new advances and breakthroughs in medicine and science.
