Charles Darwin was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, best known for his contributions to the science of evolution. Born in 1809 in Shrewsbury, England, Darwin embarked on a five-year voyage aboard HMS Beagle, during which he collected specimens that would later inspire his theory of natural selection. In 1859, he published his landmark work 'On the Origin of Species', which fundamentally changed the understanding of life on Earth.
