About the Author

Charles Darwin (1809–1882) is perhaps the most important naturalist the world has known. He developed the modern theory of scientific evolution and, with others, the principle of natural selection. His landmark work, The Origin of Species, which explained the evolutionary process, was vehemently attacked as being at odds with the Bible.
