Charles Darwin




                  He said that evolution is obvious and everywhere evident. Nations evolve as they respond to challenges from other nations and from nature. Friendships evolve, ideas evolve. It is even obvious the particular animal species have evolved. Thus we now have scores of breeds of dogs, where once, there was only one or two. So the every species have evolved making its contemporaries shocked. And human being is also not and exception. He gets his evolution since long and has been evolved from the species of ape not from the direct mercy of God.

                 The some figure who declared the ancestors of human being were the Apes, Was Charles Darwin, an English biologist and scientist. He was born on Feb. 12, 1809 at Hrewsbury, England, as the grandson of the eccentric evolutionists Erasmus Darwin and as a son of well-known physicist Robert Darwin. He had to face no difficulties in his childhood though his mother was expired when he was eight years old.

                 Darwin was only an average scholar. he was more interested in collecting of insects and earthworms than in his regular studies. So, he couldn't do well in school. But he was epidemic in study of insects since his teens. As a result, in his sixteen, he was sent to the University of Edinburgh to study medicine, but he did show no interest there at all. And after all he was sent to Cambridge to study about mythology from where he did graduation in 1831 at all. But the same Cambridge became the turning point in his life where he met a professor and by getting his reference he had got a golden opportunity to be appointed as a naturalist on HMS Beagle to survey the wild life South America.

                During his five years in beagle (Dec. 1831-Oct. 1836), Darwin began to develop the ideas about evolution and the origin of species through many significant experiments and examinations of all types of geological formations, fossils and the various plants and animals. On the basis of his minute observation he published The Origin of Species in 1859 where he explained that all kinds of living things have developed from very few simple forms through natural selection among variations. He claimed that origin of species from a few common ancestors happened million of years ago and this process of evolution still continues.

               Similarly, his theory of the Survival of the fittest" brought a drastic change of people's thought and brought a storm in the field of science. He claimed that all living beings must compete with on another in order to survive and exist. In a sense all living beings are the rival to each other. His theory is still interpreted enthusiastically but somehow differently. But the extinction of Dianocer really supports his theory 'survival of the fittest'. His theory along with competition supports the adequate environment to be here in this world.

              Darwin's theory of evolution and the theory of survival further paved the way to the new scientists. he is widely remembered in the study of heredity as well. Now it has been an established truth that the traits are determined by the transformation of genes from one generation to another. But it gets its change from time to time. The change in genes also causes a variation in a trait. So the living beings exist and pass into new generation, only if he change is favorable to survive and struggle for existence. Otherwise, the certain species gets its sudden end or extinction from the universe. Later on the basis of this same theory modern men develop the concepts of might is right, and interpret on their behalf.

         Such an undaunting figure, Charles  Robert Darwin, passed away on 9 Apr. 1982 at Downe, kent, England. He was honored through the presence of the world's greatest celebrities in his funeral ceremony and by laying the graves on besides of Sir Isaac Newton in west-minister Abbey.
