About the Author

Charles Robert Darwinof Britain revolutionized the study of biology with his theory, based on natural selection; his most famous works includeOn the Origin of Species(1859) andThe Descent of Man(1871).ChieflyAsa Grayof America advocated his theories.Works ofJacques Martin BarzunincludeDarwin, Marx, Wagner(1941).Charles Robert Darwin, an eminent English collector and geologist, proposed and provided scientific evidence of common ancestors for all life over time through the process that he called. The scientific community and the public in his lifetime accepted the facts that occur and then in the 1930s widely came to see the primary explanation of the process that now forms modernity. In modified form, the foundational scientific discovery of Darwin provides a unifying logical explanation for the diversity of life.Darwin developed his interest in history and medicine at Edinburgh University and then theology at Cambridge. His five-year voyage on theBeagleestablished him as a geologist, whose observations and supported uniformitarian ideas ofCharles Lyell, and publication of his journal made him as a popular author. Darwin collected wildlife and fossils on the voyage, but their geographical distribution puzzled him, who investigated the transmutation and conceived idea in 1838. He discussed his ideas but needed time for extensive research despite priority of geology. He wrote in 1858, whenAlfred Russel Wallacesent him an essay, which described the same idea, prompting immediate joint publication.His book of 1859 commonly established the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature. He examined human sexuality inSelection in Relation to Sex, andThe Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animalsfollowed. A series of books published his research on plants, and he finally examined effect of earthworms on soil.A state funeral recognized Darwin in recognition of preeminence and only four other non-royal personages of the United Kingdom of the 19th century; people buried his body in Westminster abbey, close to those ofJohn HerschelandIsaac Newton.Her fatheredFrancis Darwin, astronomerGeorge Darwin, and politician, economist and eugenicistLeonard Darwin.(Arabic:تشارلز داروين)
