Charles Darwin

Theory Of Evolution
Charles Darwin was an English man who made
famous the Theory of Evolution. He lived in the
19th Century. Darwin was a naturalist. Some
one who studied natural history.
The Beagle
After studying at university for a while Darwin
went on a voyage on a ship called the Beagle.
The ship started out in England, it travelled to
places in South America, South Africa,
Australia and Mauritius.
Different Species
While he was abroad, Darwin studied many of
the different species that he encountered. The
crew found many fossils of creatures similar to
ones that were still alive. Many adapted to
that present environment.
Similar Traits
Once he was back in England, Darwin noticed
some strange things. Many of the birds (and
other animals) from different islands shared
similar characteristics. Yet they where decided
to be different species.
Same Origins
Further research showed that all of the species
had started out from the same thing. As a
creature spread to different environments, over
the years, it would adapt to the place it lived. This
meant that eventually it could become an
entirely different species.
Connection
This began a look at other species. It was
discovered that everything had a base roots,
which connected something to lots of
different species. Animals had made
adaption's to survive.
Publication
At first this theory was ridiculed by many
people when it was first published. Darwin
didn’t want to publish his views on man’s
evolution until people accepted the theory as a
possibility.
Man’s Evolution
Darwin believed that everything
evolved over time to survive. He even
came up with a theory for man.
Everything started out as single celled
organisms. Things moved from sea to
land. When things finally came to
monkeys. Some evolved to be apes.
Man’s Evolution
Darwin says that human beings have evolved
from apes. We are still evolving. Humans are
learning new things everyday, even our
physical shape has changed. We are getting
taller with each generations and will eventually
lose body parts that are not necessary any
more.
