Darwin was a student and a "gentleman" - originally he trained to be a doctor - like his father - but was too squeamish for the surgery; this was before anaesthetics.

Like many a failed doctor at that time, he then trained to be a parson - in those days, most naturalists were amateurs and often in the church. Darwin was a fanatical collector of beetles.

Shortly after completing his degree, he was offered a place on the Beagle; originally as a companion for the captain, he later replaced the naturalist. During the voyage he described himself as a geologist.
