Charles Darwin
(CONTRIBUTION TO SCIENCE, SOCIETY AND TECHNOLOGY)
Charles Darwin (February 12 1809 - April 19 1882) was an English naturalist and geologist best
known for his contribution to evolutionary theory. Darwin's general theory presumes the
development of life from nonlife and stresses a purely naturalistic (undirected) "descent with
modifications". That is, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over
time. He is often cited as the greatest biologist in history. His most famous work, On the Origin
of Species, explains the theory of evolution by natural selection, providing numerous supporting
examples. Natural selection is Darwin's most famous theory it states that evolutionary change
comes through the production of variation in each generation and differential survival of
individuals with different combinations of these variable characters. For natural selection to
work, it has to occur along with bunch of other things. Five main points of Darwin's theory
Evolution, Common Descent, Species multiply, Gradualism, Natural selection .Evolution or
survival of the species. Darwin basically said that humans evolved over time. They changed in
ways that allowed them to survive over time. Humans were not the only species that changed
over time. He used the Galopicos, Island animals as an example. The animals and birds had
changed so that they would be able to survive there. The same species in the areas they had
originated in had not changed. Back in Darwin's time or prior to that time, science and religion
worked together. When dinosaur bones & fossils were discovered, questions began to be asked.
However, Darwin's theory of evolution separated religion and science completely by explaining
changes in fossils and bones over a period of time that showed that the earth was older than what
the Church believed it to be based on the Bible. Many people think that you are either a believer
in God and how the Earth and all species came to be or an evolutionist. However, a
contemporary of Darwin's believed that you could be both but that would mean that there would
need to be compromises on both sides.
