CHARLES DARWIN 1809-1882

The same is true with the birth of Abraham Lincoln, February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, England. Charles Darwin was the inventor of the theory of organic evolution in the sense that natural selection is at the age of sixteen entered the University of Edinburgh to study medicine, but both the medical and anatomical science that makes it deems bored. Soon he moved to Cambridge to study elements of office administration. Even so, hunt and ride horses in Cambridge digemarinya far more than the learning of science. And even so, she's still able to attract the attention of one of the Grand Masters are encouraged to participate in a voyage on board HMS investigation Beagle as a naturalist. At first her father objected to this appointment. She thought the trip like that is just an excuse just reluctant to make Darwin a serious job. Fortunately, later the father could be persuaded, and bless the journey which ultimately proved to be a journey of the most valuable in the history of European science.
Darwin began to go sailing on board the Beagle in 1831. At that time he was only twenty-two years. Within five years of shipping, ship Beagle sailed the world, scour the coast of South America in an exciting pace, explore the Galapagos Islands a quiet secluded, mengambah islands in the Pacific, the Ocean Indonesia and the southern Atlantic Ocean. In perkelanaan it, Darwin witnessed many miracles of nature, visiting primitive tribes, found a large number of fossils, examine the various kinds of plants and animal species. Furthermore, he made many notes about anything that passes in front of her eyes. These records are the basic ingredient for almost all of his work in the future. From these records are just ideas, and events and experiences to be supporting his theories.
Darwin returned to his country in 1836 and twenty years afterwards he published a line of books, which made him a famous biologist in the UK. Commencing from the year 1837 Darwin convinced that animals and plants are not fixed, but changes in the course of geological history. At that time he was not aware of what causes the occurrence of evolution. In 1838 he read an essay "Concerning the principles of population" Thomas Malthus. Malthus's book is menyuguhkannya the facts that led more convinced of natural selection through competition to sustain life. Even after Darwin succeeded in formulating the principles of natural selection, he was in no hurry to print and publish it. He was conscious, his theory would invite challenges. Therefore, he takes a long time carefully preparing the evidence and put the horses to maintain the hypothesis if there are attacks.
The outline of the theory written in 1842 and in 1844 he began compiling his book at length. In June 1858, when Darwin was still being added to increase and improve the book by size, he received a manuscript from Alfred Russel Wallace (a British naturalist who was located in the East) outlined his own theory of evolution. In each of the basic problems, along with Wallace's theory Darwin's theory! Wallace was developing his theory is really standing on his own mind and send the manuscript to Darwin's writings to ask for opinions and commentary from prominent scientists signed it before printing. The situation was bad because it is easy to grow so the fight is not desired to scramble priorities. Way out, both Wallace's script and the outlines of Darwin's theory simultaneously addressed by a scientific body in the next month.
Simply amazing, preposing this problem is not so neglected people. Darwin's book The Origin of Species published in the following year, causing much controversy. It is in fact probably never have published a book of science that is so widespread and so so so warm conversation material, both within the scientists or laymen, such as occurs in the book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Strugle for Life. They put forward an argument remain exciting in 1871 when Darwin published The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex. This book, put forward the idea that human beings originated from a type of monkey, adding the thrill of debate opinions.
Darwin himself did not take part in debates in public about the theories say. It could be because health is so because after perkelanaannya parrjang with the ship Beagle (most likely due to fever, due to insect bites Chaga disease in Latin America). And it could be because she felt quite have such a staunch supporter of Thomas H. Huxley a debate champion and defender of Darwin's theory, most scientists agree the basics of Darwin's theory of truth when the relevant niati 1882.
Actually - if you want to talk to a real or not real - not the first inventor of Darwin's theory of evolution. Some people have menyuarakannya before him, including the French naturalist Jean Lamarek and Darwin's own grandfather, Erasmus Darwin.
However, their hypothesis is never accepted by the scientific world because it was unable to give assurance of how and in what way evolution occurs. Darwin's greatest contribution is its ability not only present the mechanism of natural selection that resulted in the occurrence of natural evolution, but he is also capable of presenting a lot of evidence to support the hypothesis.
Worthy of note, Darwin's theory was formulated without any backrest genetic theory or in fact he did not know anything about that knowledge. In Darwin's time, no one would understand how a particular matter of the next generation. Although Gregor Mendel's laws were completed descendants in those years coincided with the time Darwin wrote and published his book which makes history, Mendel's work that support Darwin's theory is so perfect, almost entirely ignored Mendel people until 1900, when Darwin's theory is so well-established and steady. So, our modern understanding about evolution - which is a combination of genetic science to the law of natural selection descent - more complete than Darwin's theories proffered.
Darwin's influence on human thought in sekah. In terms of pure science, of course, he was committing a revolutionary all aspects of biology. Natural selection really have a very broad principles and fundamental, and various attempts had been made its application in various areas such as anthropology, sociology, political science and economics.
Perhaps even more important influence on Darwin's thinking in terms of religion rather than on science or sociology. In Darwin's time and for years afterward, many loyal followers of Christianity believe that accepting Darwin's theory mean lower degree of confidence in religion. Their concern is probably unfounded because although clearly many other factors that be because the dilution of religious belief. (Darwin himself became a secular).
Even on the basis of secular, Darwinian theory lead to major changes in the way people think about happenings in their world they (the human race it seems) as a whole no longer occupy a central position in the natural scheme of things, as was their nature akukan. Now we should see ourselves as one part only of the many creatures and we acknowledge the possibility that once a date will be shifted. As a result of the investigation results of Darwin, the view of Heraclitus who said, "Nothing is permanent except change" becomes more widely accepted. Successful theory of evolution as a general explanation of the origin of humans have more solidified confidence in the ability of science to answer any questions the physical world (although not all human problems and human). Glossary Darwin, "The strong defeating the weak" and "Struggle for life" had become a part of our dictionary.
Indeed, Darwin's theory will be explained as well though such as Darwin had never lived in the world. Moreover, the measure of what has been produced by Wallace, it is quite contain the truth, more than any particulars contained in this book list. However, it is Darwin's writings that has revolutionized biology and antropolgi and it was he who changed our view on the position of humans in the world.
