Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution?

Answer 1

Charles Darwin did not write about genes. However, in The Origin of Species (published 1859) he proposes that natural selection occurs, and this was very controversial. An Augustinian Monk called Gregor Mendel discovered the patterns of inheritance when he did a study of inheritance in pea plants in 1866, but his work was not recognised until the twentieth century.

Answer 2

Charles Robert Darwin was born on February 12, 1809, at the family home The Mount in the town of Shrewsbury, Shropshire County, England. Darwin was the fifth of six children born to Dr. Robert Waring Darwin and Susannah Wedgwood. Darwin was destined to follow in the footsteps of his paternal grandfather, the physician Erasmus Darwin, who wrote on evolutionary principles in "Zoonomia." In his early days, Darwin had his love of nature and began to collect minerals, shells, and bird eggs-a hobby which helped him later on in life. When Darwin was 8, he lost his mother. He joined the Unitarian day school the same year. After aa year, he then moved to Dr. Samuel Butler's boarding school in Shrewsbury, where he studied the works of Homer, Euclid, Virgil, Horace, William Shakespeare, Lord George Gordon Bryon, John Milton and Sir Walter Scott. Till 1825, he attended the boarding school and did not excel in studies. He loved conducting experiments and liked chemistry. he later left the boarding school and by his dad's permission, joined the University of Edinburgh for studying Medicine where he learned medicine.
