Wikipedia explains, Charles Robert Darwin died in Downe, Kent, England on 19 April 1882. He is an English naturalist whose revolutionary theory laid the foundation for modern evolutionary theory.

Darwin developed his interest in natural history when he first studied medicine, then theology at the university. He has traveled around the world to sea for five years aboard the HMS Beagle.

His writings made him a leading geologist and writer famous. Biological observations led him to study the transmutation of species, and he developed his theory of natural selection in 1838.

Darwin was the fifth of six children. Her parents, Robert Darwin and Susannah Wedgwood is a doctor. Susannah died when Darwin was eight years old.

Born of a wealthy family, can enjoy the comfort and Darwin have access to educational facilities mengenyam good. Darwin was interested in biology since childhood and studied medicine.

In 1825, after a summer as an apprentice doctor, helping his father treat the poor of Shropshire, Darwin went to Edinburgh University to study medicine. However, Darwin did not like the behavior of the brutality of the practice of surgery, so he left his studies.

In the second year, Darwin became active in the student association for the naturalist. He became a pupil of Robert Edmund Grant, who is the man who pioneered the development of the theories of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Charles theory grandfather, Erasmus, concerning the evolution of the characteristics examined.

Darwin Grant participated in the study of the life cycle of marine animals on the coast of the Firth of Forth. Later, he found evidence for homology, the radical theory that all animals have similar organs and differ only in complexity.

He also attended a class on Robert Jameson natural history, and learning about stratigraphic geology and how to classify plants. In 1827, his father was not happy because the children are not interested to become a doctor, secretly enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts program at Christ's College, Cambridge University, to prepare to be a pastor.

It is a sensible choice. Because, at that time the Anglican clergy earn a decent income and mostly from the naturalists in England.

Pastor at that time considered part of their job is to "explore the wonders of God's creation". In the end exams in January 1831, he excelled in theology.

Darwin studied hard in classical studies, mathematics and physics. So, he appeared on the top 10 of the 178 students who graduated.

On January 29, 1839, Darwin married his cousin Emma Wedgwood at Maer in an Anglican ceremony arranged to suit the Unitarians. Darwin had ten children, three of whom died in early childhood.

Book The Origin of Species
Darwin wrote about the evolution of ideas in the book Origin of Species (The Origin of Species), which explains the theory of evolution. In the beginning, Darwin hesitate to publish the ideas and observations are very radical.

Over the years, Darwin's ideas and just keep talking with co-workers to believe. One of Darwin's motivation for publishing this book is the encouragement of Alfred Russel Wallace. Wallace himself also wrote about a similar idea and sent it to Darwin.

Darwin advised to immediately complete the writing. In 1859, the book The Origin of Species was published and is not suspected, a loud and controversial behavior. Although Darwin did not discuss human evolution openly, his hard challenge, both from the scientific, as well as society, especially the church. (FMH)
