Charles Darwin and his Theory of Evolution
Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was an English geologist and naturalist. In his famous book On the Origin of Species, Darwin proposed the theory that organisms (individual life forms ) evolve extremely slowly. He stated that the organisms that were better suited to their environments would survive and pass on their favorable characteristics to the next generation, while the less suitable organisms would gradually die out. He called this process “natural selection.”
