Darwin, Charles (1809-82)Darwin, Charles (1809-82)

Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. He was the son of Robert Wari ng Darwin and his wife Susannah; and the grandson of the scientist Erasm us Darwin, and of the potter Josiah Wedgwood. His mother died when he w as eight years old, and he was brought up by his sister. He was taught cla ssics at Shrewsbury, then sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, which he ha ted, and a final attempt at educating him was made by sending him to Chris t's College, Cambridge, to study theology (1827). During that period he lo ved to collect plants, insects, and geological specimens, guided by his co usin William Darwin Fox, an entomologist. His scientific inclinations we re encouraged by his botany professor, John Stevens Henslow, who was instr umental, depsite heavy paternal opposition, in securing a place for Darw in as a naturalist on the surveying expedition of HMS Beagle to Patagon ia (1831-6).

Under Captain Robert Fitzroy, he visited Tenerife, the Cape Verde Is, Braz il, Montevideo, Tierra del Fuego, Buenos Aires, Valparaiso, Chile, the Gal apagos, Tahiti, New Zealand, and Tasmania. In the Keeling Is he devised h is theory of coral reefs. During this five-year expedition he obtained int imate knowledge of the fauna, flora, and geology of many lands, which equi pped him for his later investigations. By 1846 he had published several wo rks on the geologcial and zoological descoveries of his voyage- works th at placed him at once in the front rank of scientists. He developed a frie ndship with Sir Charles Lyell, became secretary of the Geological Socie ty (1838-41), and in 1839 married his cousin Emma Wedgewood (1808-96).

From 1842 he lived at Down House, Downe, Kent, a country gentleman among h is gardens, conservatories, pigeons, and fowls. The practical knowled ge he gained there, especially in variation and interbreeding, proved inva luable. Private means enabled him to devote himself to science, in spi te of continuous ill-health: it was not realized until after his death th at he had suffered from Chagas's diasease, which he had contracted fr om an insect bite while in South America.

At Down House he addressed himself to the great work of his life- the prob lem of the origin of species. After five years of collecting the evidenc e, he began to speculate on the subject. In 1842 he drew up his observatio ns in some short notes, expanded in 1844 into a sketch of conclusions f or his own use. These embodied the principle of natural selection, the ge rm of the Darwinian Theory, but with typical caution he delayed publicati on of his hypothesis.

However, in 1858 Alfred Russel Wallace sent him a memoir of the Malay Arch ipelago, which, to Darwin's surprise, contained in essence the main ide as of his own theory of natural selection. Lyell and Joseph Hooker persuad ed him to submit a paper of his own, based on his 1844 sketch, which was r ead simultaneously with Wallace's before the Linnean Society in 1858. Neit her Darwin nor Wallace was present on that historic occasion.

Darwin then set to work to condense his vast mass of notes, and put into s hape his great work, The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selectio n, published in 1859. This epoch-making work, received througout Europe wi th the deepest interest, was violently attacked because it did not agree w ith the account of creation given in the Book of Genesis. But eventual ly it succeeded in obtaining recognition from almost all biologists.

Darwin continued to work at a series of supplemental treatises: The Fertil ization of Orchids (1862), The Variation of Plants and Animals under Domes tication (1867), and The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex ( 1871), which postulated that the human race derived from a hairy animal be longing to the great anthropoid group, and was related to the progenito rs of the orang-utan, chimpanzee, and gorilla. In his 1871 work he also de veloped his important supplementary theory of sexual selection.

Later works include The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals (1872 ), Insectivorous Plants (1875), The Effects of Cross and Self Fertilizati on in the Vegetable Kingdom (1876), Different Forms of Flowers in Plan ts of the Same Species (1877), and The Formations of Vegetable Mould throu gh the Action of Worms (1881).

Darwin died after a long illness, leaving eight children, several of wh om achieved great distinction. Though not the sole originator of the evolu tion hypothesis, nor even the first to apply the concept of descent to pla nts and animals, he was the first thinker to gain for that theory a wide a cceptance among biological experts. By adding to the crude evolutioni sm of Erasmus Darwin, Lamarck, and others, his own specific idea of natur al selection, Darwin supplied a sufficient cause, which raised it from a h ypothesis to a verifiable theory.
