CHARLES DARWIN SERIES

Clearly, nobody seeking to understand human origins, any more than any other student of the history of life, can ignore our debt to these two men. Along with his younger colleague Alfred Russel Wallace, Charles Darwin provided the initial theoretical underpinnings of human evolutionary science as it is practiced today.

In recognition of DarwinвЂ™s pre-eminence, he was one of only five 19th century UK non-royal personages to be honoured by a state funeral, and was buried in Westminster Abbey, close to John Herschel and Isaac Newton.

CHARLES DARWIN SERIES

His research on plants was published in a series of books, and in his final book, he examined earthworms and their effect on soil.

He examined human evolution and sexual selection in The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, followed by The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. His 1859 book On the Origin of Species established evolution by common descent as the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature. He was writing up his theory in 1858 when Alfred Russel Wallace sent him an essay which described the same idea, prompting immediate joint publication of both of their theories. Although he discussed his ideas with several naturalists, he needed time for extensive research and his geological work had priority. Puzzled by the geographical distribution of wildlife and fossils he collected on the voyage, Darwin investigated the transmutation of species and conceived his theory of natural selection in 1838.

His five-year voyage on the Beagle established him as a geologist whose observations and theories supported Charles LyellвЂ™s uniformitarian ideas, and publication of his journal of the voyage made him famous as a popular author. In modified form, DarwinвЂ™s scientific discovery remains the foundation of biology, as it provides a unifying logical explanation for the diversity of life.Дarwin developed his interest in natural history while studying medicine at Edinburgh University, then theology at Cambridge. The fact that evolution occurs became accepted by the scientific community and the general public in his lifetime, while his theory of natural selection came to be widely seen as the primary explanation of the process of evolution in the 1930s, and now forms the basis of modern evolutionary theory.
