Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin is one of history’s most prominent naturalists, and he was one of the first to propose that all species sprang from a common ancestor. Darwin is also known as the “Father of the Species.” Despite the fact that his beliefs were widely rejected by his peers and religious organizations at the time, his hypothesis of evolution as a product of natural selection is now widely regarded as one of the cornerstones of modern scientific thought. His conclusions on evolution were reported in his book On the Origin of Species, which was released in 1859.
