How Did Charles Darwin Change The World
Why do you think Charles Darwin went on a five year voyage to collect samples of rock and fossils? Darwin was rich in his early life, he made a new theory, and he also changed the world by changing people's perspective on how things were made. The voyage was not even meant for Darwin.
Charles Darwin had a very irregular life. Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England on February 12 1809 (Perrottet). As a child Darwin and his younger sister were raised by their older sister due to their mother’s death(Stefoff 3). Some of his teaching was his brother teaching him chemistry in their makeshift lab which was their shed (Stefoff, Rebecca, pg.6).” Darwin went to medical school in Edinburgh, England on October

As an adult he would often carry On the Origin of Species with him in his saddlebag or cartridge case while on hunts.” (Brinkley, 23, 24).…
