	Charles Darwin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England, on 12 February 1809, at the family home, The Mount House.
		Darwin considered Malthus's argument that human populations breed beyond their means and compete to survive and related it to his findings about species relating to localities, his enquiries into animal breeding, and ideas of Natural "laws of harmony".
		Several of their children suffered illness or weaknesses, and Charles Darwin's fears that this might be due to the closeness of his and Emma’s lineage was expressed in his writings on the ill effects of inbreeding and advantages of crossing.

		Darwin's life work provoked ongoing discussions in the scientific community, and established more than anything else that "evolution" itself had occurred: not necessarily that it was by natural or sexual selection (this particular recognition would not become fully standard until the rediscovery of Gregor Mendel's work in the early 20th century).

		After Darwin finished his studies, Henslow recommended him for the position of naturalist and gentleman's companion to Robert Fitzroy, the captain of the HMS Beagle, which was departing on a five-year expedition to chart the coastline of South America.
		Charles Darwin himself did not actively defend his theories; he was constantly in ill health, and Huxley was skilled enough to handle the situation for him.

	The Scientists: Charles Darwin.
		Darwin's "evolutionary and comprehensive vision" is a monistic one, it shows that our universe is a "unitary and continuous process," there does not exist a "dualistic split," and that all phenomena are natural.
		Darwin and Wallace jointly presented their theories to a learned society in London on July 1st, 1858 and both papers were published by the society shortly thereafter.
		Darwin was not a conversationalist and he only very rarely appeared in public to defend his theories himself; he was fully represented by Thomas H. Huxley, "Darwin's Bulldog." It is interesting to note what Thomas H. Huxley said about his topic when confronted with the opposition in the form of Bishop Wilberforce of Oxford.

		Charles Robert Darwin was born in 1809, the second son of a successful and wealthy physician, Robert Waring Darwin.
		Charles' mother was a daughter of Josiah Wedgwood, founder of the famous pottery, an active supporter of the intellectual life of his times that linked him not only to Erasmus Darwin but also to Joseph Priestly, the famous chemist.
		Darwin took the metaphor of the struggle for life from Malthus and made of it something that was not in Malthus at all, struggle as a creative process by weeding out the unfit in every generation.

	URBANOWICZ ON DARWIN/September 1996
		Charles Darwin was an extremely important individual for a variety of reasons: the data he collected, the experiments he conducted, and the theories he proposed influenced a variety of disciplines, from anthropology to zoology as well as ecology, geology, and the general social sciences.
		Charles Darwin first grew a beard, as was the custom, when he was on board HMS Beagle on her circumnavigation of the globe in 1831-1836 but he shaved the beard before returning to England.
		Robert Darwin had the distinction of being the largest man that Charles Darwin ever observed: Robert Darwin was some six feet two inches in height, with a tremendous girth, and the last time he weighed himself he was at some 360 pounds (or 24 stone in the measurement system of the day).

		The Charles Darwin Research Station (CDRS), with facilities on the Galápagos Islands and in Quito, Ecuador, focuses its efforts on the conservation of the terrestrial and marine ecosystems of the Galápagos Islands and on the education of tourists and Ecuadorians alike on subjects relevant to the archipelago.
		At one time, the tortoises were extraordinarily abundant in the archipelago, but exploitation of the tortoise adults by humans and of the eggs and hatchlings by non-native mammals drove many of the populations to the brink of extinction.
		The activities of the Charles Darwin Research Station with respect to terrestrial ecology are primarily concerned with the issue of introduced species, both directly and indirectly.

		Patches of bunker fuel are still drifting through the archipelago, however, and the Galápagos National Park Service, the Charles Darwin Research Station, tour operators, fishermen and other collaborators are still working flat out to locate and mop up the patches, monitor wildlife populations that may be at risk, and treat affected animals.
		The observations of Park Service and Darwin Station personnel during the past week have reinforced the initial impression that impacts of the spill will be widespread, but on the incomplete evidence so far available, not severe.
		Nevertheless the Darwin Station will undertake with the Park Service a full evaluation and prolonged monitoring of selected sites and species, in order to confirm the intensity and distribution of impacts and make sure there are no unforeseen medium-term effects.

		The centerpiece of this vivid portrait of Darwin, the first volume of a two-volume biography, is an account of his five-year expedition on the Beagle (1831-36), which transformed a seasick, Cambridge-educated science apprentice into a keen observer of nature and amateur geologist.
		We glimpse many facets of Darwin: the failed medical student; the laid-back undergraduate; the impassioned abolitionist; the explorer roping cattle with gauchos on the Argentine pampas; the chronically ill country squire, the patriarchal husband and reluctant atheist whose devout Anglican wife, Emma, disapproved of his theory of human origins.
		Darwin was a man of his times and of a certain station, and held certain prejudices that the author doesn't hesitate to point out - such as his not wholly humanitarian attitudes about slavery.
