About the author

Charles Darwin: Charles Darwin was a British naturalist and biologist whose groundbreaking work in the field of evolutionary biology revolutionized our understanding of life on Earth. His seminal work, Journal of Researches into the Natural History and Geology of the Countries, commonly known as The Voyage of the Beagle, chronicled Darwin's observations and discoveries during his five-year journey around the world aboard HMS Beagle. Through meticulous observations of diverse species and their habitats, Darwin formulated his theory of evolution by natural selection, which he later expounded upon in his most famous work, On the Origin of Species. Darwin's theories challenged prevailing religious and scientific beliefs of the time and laid the foundation for modern evolutionary biology.
