Charles Darwin

Naturalist & Biologist (1809–1882)

Charles Darwin formulated the theory of evolution by natural selection, transforming biology and understanding of life. His seminal work On the Origin of Species demonstrated how species evolve over generations through adaptation.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”

Darwin's insights challenged traditional views and laid the foundation for modern evolutionary science.
