	William Darwin Fox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fox was the son of Samuel Fox (1765-1851) and Ann Darwin (1777-1859). Ann was the daughter of William Alvey Darwin (1726-1783) and Jane Brown (1746-1835), and niece of Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802).
		Fox in his own non-scientific but reasoned way contributed to the understanding of the geology of the the Solent and how the Isle of Wight became separated from the mainland when he gave a very informative opinion on this matter in a reply to a correspondent to the Geologist (Fox 1862).
		Fox discovered many new dinosaurs, including Aristosuchus, Calamospondylus and Polacanthus, and was the first to realise that Hypsilophodon was a dinosaur species in its own right, and not a juvenile Iguanodon, and despite not being a professional scientist, had a significant impact on the early study of dinosaurs.

	Charles Darwin
		Darwin was an English naturalist renowned for his documentation of evolution and for his theory of its operation, known as Darwinism.
		Darwin was the son of Robert Waring Darwin, who had one of the largest medical practices outside of London, and the grandson of the physician Erasmus Darwin, the author of Zoonomia, or the Laws of Organic Life, and of the artisan-entrepreneur Josiah Wedgwood.
		Darwin solved this puzzle of geographic distribution by assigning the dissemination of populations of ocean islands to the power of wind and water.

		Charles Darwin had a very dark secret, one made all the darker because he was a moneyed gentleman of polite society, a man of scientific leisure, and one with ties to England's governmental, religious, financial and academic elite.
		Darwin was, in short, a torn man. Somewhere across the hinterlands of the sprawling British Empire, on a ship commissioned to chart the waters of New World ports, he had formulated his idea, this secret.
		For a number of years, Darwin kept records of his bird kills, which were astronomical—slaughterous, even; his diary reports that in the first week of hunting season in 1826, he killed "fifty-five partridges, three hares and a rabbit," keeping count by the number of knots on a string.

		Darwin still managed to provoke thought in his society about a more scientific origin of man. He had many theories that were revolutionary for the time, but "the keystone to Darwin's proposition was his belief in the infinity of variation" (Brent 447).
		Darwin actually enjoyed the idea of becoming a simple country clergyman, but was not anxious to study the dogmas of the Church of England.
		Darwin died after a long illness, and it was not realized until after his death that he had suffered from Chagas's disease, which he had contracted from an insect bite while in South America.

	Charles Darwin --Great Minds, Great Thinkers
		Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England, 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 is now backed up by the comparison of DNA from different organisms which shows the closeness of their relationship.
		Darwin's own struggle with faith got sharper the older he became, and his posthumously-published autobiography contained quotes about Christianity that were omitted by Darwin's wife Emma and his son Francis because they were deemed dangerous for Charles Darwin's reputation.

		Darwin became quite upset with Mivart, not because of his objections to his theory, but because of the venomous manner in which he put forth his objections and because of his attacks on Darwin's colleagues.
		Darwin, together with Huxley, Hooker and Spottiswoode, urged Prime Minister Gladstone put forward a proposal before Parliament to provide Wallace with a pension of £200 a year, and this was granted.

	AboutDarwin.com - Darwin's Timeline
		Darwin did not particularly take a liking to medical studies - the fear of the sight of blood being a major hindrance, but the primary reason for his aversion appears to be that he found the study of medicine incredibly boring.
		The reasons for this are not entirely clear, but evidently Darwin had developed too much of a relationship with entomology (he had not visited her the previous winter break, having stayed in Cambridge to hunt beetles), and Fanny was being pursued by more attentive suitors.
		Darwin was invited to attend Sedgwick's geology lectures which oddly enough he enjoyed a great deal (this is ironic, as he found Jameson's geology lectures at Edinburgh to be very boring).

		William Darwin must, at least in part, have owed his rise in station to his appointment in 1613 by James I. to the post of Yeoman of the Royal Armoury of Greenwich.
		Charles Darwin possessed, in the highest degree, that "vividness of imagination" of which he speaks as strongly characteristic of Erasmus, and as leading "to his overpowering tendency to theorise and generalise." This tendency, in the case of Charles Darwin, was fully kept in check by the determination to test his theories to the utmost.
		Darwin lived before his marriage for two or three years on St. John's Hill; afterwards at the Crescent, where his eldest daughter Marianne was born; lastly at the "Mount," in the part of Shrewsbury known as Frankwell, where the other children were born.

	Free Essays on Charles Darwin
		What Darwin really liked to do was tramp over the hills, observing plants and animals, collecting new specimens, scrutinizing their structures, and categorizing his findings, guided by his cousin William Darwin Fox, an entomologist.
		Darwin's scientific inclinations were encouraged by his botany professor, John Stevens Henslow, who was instrumental, despite heavy paternal opposition, in securing a place for Darwin as a naturalist on the surveying expedition of HMS Beagle to Patagonia.
		Darwin then set to work to condense his vast mass of notes, and put into shape his great work, The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life, published in 1859.

		Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, into a prosperous middle-class intellectual family – his paternal grandfather was the scientist Erasmus Darwin (whose work contains some hints of the evolutionary theory his grandson was later to elaborate) and his maternal grandfather, the potter Josiah Wedgwood.
		Decisions about his future in the church were put on hold when, in the same year, Darwin was chosen to become the naturalist on board HMS Beagle on a planned circumnavigation of the globe.
		It was a distillation and elaboration of his ideas first formulated on The Beagle voyage – that is, development of a theory to explain the richness and diversity of life observed while on HMS Beagle, the theory of natural selection.

		Though not the sole originator of the evolution hypothesis, nor even the first to apply the concept of descent to plants and animals, he was the first thinker to gain for that theory a wide acceptance among biological experts.

		Darwin's Journal and Remarks was very popular and later that year was published on its own becoming the best-seller nowadays known as "The Voyage of the Beagle", establishing Darwin as an author.
		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).
		Darwin's theory of evolution was a significant blow to creationism and notions of intelligent design prevalant among 19th century Europe.

		Fox also introduced him to John Stevens Henslow and Darwin was a regular presence at the botanical lectures, excursions, and undergraduate parties organised by the professor of botany.

		Darwin was the son of a distinguished medical doctor and the grandson of the physician Erasmus Darwin, who set out his own theories concerning evolution in his book Zoonomia, or the Laws of Organic Life.
		Darwin was poignantly aware that his idea of the evolution of species contradicted Christian belief in divine creation and could be considered blasphemous or seditious under current laws.
		Darwin’s own diagram of evolution was that of a branching tree, and according to his theory, competition within a species led to the prevalence of individuals with characteristics advantageous to survival.
