Charles Robert Darwin was a British man who was born into a wealthy family in February 12, 1809 in Shrusbury England. In 1825 Darwin was sent to as an aprentice doctor with his father. Darwin was getting better each time and sesequently he was sent to Edinburgh University to study medicine. During the time Charles denied the studies, because he did not like surgeries, and finded that studiying is boring. Later on at the University he got interested in Taxonomy (clasifications of living things), and also marine enviorments. Darwin was then sent to Cambridge, with the purpose of studying for a Bachelor of Arts with the long term aim of becoming an Anglican parson. However he found himself more interested in beetle collecting, botany, geology and natural philosophy.
Later on in his life a voyage around the world in a ship known as HSM Beagle, was a very big event in his life that lasted for about 5 years before it ended. The primary mission the ship and the crew had, was to survey and also chart the coasts. Darwin studied the geology of the areas he visited, and amass a big collection of natural history specimens.
After analysing everything, manybelive that the primary inspiration of his ideas, was thanks to this voyage which he was a part of. The most important, and the best known, was his theory of evolution by natural selection. Evolutionary ideas had been very common since the 18th century, Charles was able to describe the process (natural selection) by which evolution occurred, as well present overwhelming arguments and clear evidence of what he states.
Many people such as Darwin's wife were very religious people who obstacled day by day his theory, but in the other hand many people were also very religious, but finded that evolution is a natural process by which living organisms adapt to diferent or particular enviorments. So after all developing his theory was not that easy like how it sounds like, but Darwin did not sleep the nessesary, did not eat the nessesary, did not focused on other thing the way it should be, but developing his idea was what he dreamed how many years of his life.
