Darwin's theory of evolution changed how people saw the world and their place in it. He challenged the long-held belief that God had created every living thing in its current shape, and showed how he believed that animals had evolved, or changed over time. This book looks at Darwin's life and work, and shows how his discoveries both changed society at the time and influenced people in the future.

Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin was an English naturalist and geologist best known for his contributions to the science of evolution. During his five-year voyage aboard The Beagle Darwin collected new creatures from the coasts of Africa, South America, and the Galapagos Islands, and expanded his groundbreaking ideas that would change people's understanding of the natural world. He proposed that evolution resulted from natural selection. In 1859 he published his book 'The Origin of the Species'.
