# Charles Darwin

> He turned a five-year sail around the world into the idea that binds all biology: every living thing shares an ancestor, shaped by the ruthless edit of natural selection. The theory rattled Victorian England and still draws more search traffic than most scientists get in death.

## Bio

Charles Robert Darwin ditched medical school at Edinburgh to poke at marine invertebrates, then landed a berth on HMS Beagle in 1831 for what became a five-year voyage that made him a geologist of note. Puzzled by the fossils and living creatures he'd catalogued across continents, he began sketching a theory of natural selection by 1838 but sat on it for two decades, buried in barnacle taxonomy and coral-reef monographs that won him the Royal Medal in 1853. When Alfred Russel Wallace mailed him an essay describing the same mechanism in 1858, both men rushed their work to the Linnean Society; Darwin followed with On the Origin of Species the next year, then The Descent of Man in 1871, which pulled humans into the branching tree. By the 1870s the educated world accepted evolution as fact, though natural selection didn't become the consensus engine until the mid-twentieth century. He died in 1882 and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
