For other people named Charles Darwin, see Charles Darwin (disambiguation). Charles Robert Darwin, FRS FRGS FLS FZS (/ËdÉËrwÉªn/; 12 February 1809 â 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist and geologist, best known for his contributions to the science of evolution.
Charles Darwin-Father of Evolution. When Charles Darwin was born in 1809 science was still in its baby shoes. Chemists were talking about atoms, physicists about energy and electricity. Nobody really knew what it was. By the time he died in 1882 scientists were able to explain light and electromagnetic waves. And, thanks to Darwin, biologists were able to explain how life on Earth developed. Darwin was the best biologist of all times. He was an expert on plants, animals and insects. But he didn't want to be a biologist at first. At school and the university Darwin was just an average student.
