Life
• Born in Shrewsbury,
England on February
twelfth 1809.
• His grandfather was a
naturalist and delved
in evolution theories
of past naturalists.
• His Grandfather
influenced his career
selection.
College
• Went to Edinburgh university to study theology, but
left to Cambridge university.
• At Cambridge university, studied anatomy and
biology in general.
• He majored in the field of anatomy and other fields in
biology.
H.M.S. Beagle
• Charles Darwin was the naturalist aboard the H.M.S.
Beagle, the boat that went on the expedition around the
world.
• The scientific crew onboard went around the world to
better the world of science.
South America
• He found fossils that intrigued and he
decided to collect them for further study
when he returned to London.
• All fossils collected would be used to help
with his theories
Galapagos Island
• Darwin decided to study the
different types of finches that
appeared in the Galapagos
islands. This is because the
species changed greatly island to
island.
• These studies further allowed
him to amass more supportive
cases for his theories.
Aftermath
• After the expedition he
marries his cousin
Emma Wedgwood.
• He returns to London
conduct work on his
theories on evolution.
• He came up with the
four theories: evolution
has occurred, most
evolution induced
change is gradual.
Origin of species
• About ten years later
Darwin compiled many
of his theories and
published them in his
book, “The Origin of
Species” This book was
a best seller in the first
in its first year of being
published. It also shook
the foundations of many
religions that follow
creationism.
Natural selection
• Another one of Darwin’s
theories. This theory that
species choose to pass
on their more favorable
traits to their offspring
that their less helpful
traits.
• This theory as well as
others caused loads and
loads of controversy.
Mainly among religious
leaders and Darwinists.
Theological opinion
• Many people have
looked for Darwin’s
opinion on religion.
The thing is that
they’ll never find one
since he respected the
thoughts of his family,
friends, and his
colleagues.
• Died on April, 19 1882.
He died of a disease he
contracted at the
Galapagos islands the
first time he went there.
• Many religious leaders
that were there trying to
disprove evolution said
that he had renounced it.
This is a lie since his
daughter and other family
members can tell
otherwise.
Death
Darwinism
• Scientists and other
people have followed
Darwin’s theories to
the point that they
have used his works as
their first form of
logic.
• They try to disprove
all religion that they
encounter but seem to
contradict themselves
every time.
About the author
• I am Andrew Muniz and
I like to play video
games and read novels
that would give most
people a migraine. I also
laugh, a lot. If I start
laughing… I WON’T
STOP! I also like Final
Fantasy, A LOT!
