Charles Robert Darwin (Shrewsbury, February 12, 1809-Down House, April 19, 1882) was an English naturalist, renowned for being the most influential scientist (and the first, sharing this achievement independently with Alfred Russel Wallace) of those who raised the idea of biological evolution through natural selection, justifying it in their work The Origin of Species (1859) with numerous examples drawn from the observation of nature. He postulated that all species of living things have evolved over time from a common ancestor through a process called natural selection. Evolution was accepted as fact by the scientific community and by much of Darwin's living public, while his theory of evolution by natural selection was not considered the primary explanation of the evolutionary process until the 1930s.
