 A brief biography of Darwin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Darwin had the opportunity to witness all of these forces himself during the Beagle voyage and he became convinced that something like Lyell's method was correct.
Darwin, deeply studied in the sciences of his time, yet living somewhat removed from his colleagues as a closet theorist, was able to think in new ways and to conceive of worlds quite unimaginable to his orthodox friends.
Darwin argued that species—that is the different kinds of organisms we observe—come not from multiple unique creation events on each island or particular place—but instead that species are the modified descendants of earlier forms.

Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England, on February 12, 1809.He was the fifth of six children of Robert and Susannah Darwin (née Wedgwood), and the grandson of Erasmus Darwin, and of Josiah Wedgwood.

Darwin's theory of evolution was a significant blow to creationism and notions of intelligent design prevalant among 19th century Europe.
