English naturalist and geologist, best known for Evolutionary theory

Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist and geologist. He was born on 12 February 1809 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire into a wealthy and well-connected family. His maternal grandfather was china manufacturer Josiah Wedgwood, while his paternal grandfather was Erasmus Darwin, one of the leading intellectuals of 18th century England. He was educated at Shrewsbury, Edinburgh University, and Christ's College, Cambridge. His theory of evolution by natural selection became the foundation of modern evolutionary studies. In 1831, he joined a five year scientific expedition on the survey ship HMS Beagle. The Beagle was anchored at Sydney from 12 to 30 January 1836. During this time Darwin journeyed to Bathurst, making superficial observations on the geology of the Blue Mountains and collecting some native fauna and flora. He was 'rather disappointed in the state of society', and made the misjudgment that 'agriculture can never succeed on an extended scale.
