The idea that humans shared a common ancestor with apes was a challenge to the foundations of western civilisation.

Darwin kept silent for 20 years before going public and was only half joking when he described writing his book 'On the Origin of Species' as 'like confessing a murder'. This is the story of one man’s struggle with the most radical idea of all time. 12 Feb 1809 Born into a free-thinking family Both of Darwin's grandfathers belonged to the 'Lunar Society': a group of industrialists and Natural Philosophers Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, the fifth of six children of wealthy and well-connected parents. The young Charles had a quietly Christian upbringing, but his family life was one of openness to new ideas. His grandfathers had both been important figures of the Enlightenment: Josiah Wedgewood, industrialist and anti-slavery campaigner, and Erasmus Darwin, a doctor whose book ‘Zoonomia’ had set out a radical and highly controversial idea - that one species could 'transmute' into another. Would it be too bold to imagine, that all warm-blooded animals have arisen from one living filament...?

Darwin's grandfather Erasmus Darwin, from his 1794 book 'Zoonomia' 1825 New ideas in Edinburgh Edinburgh University as Darwin would have known it Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, Darwin secured a place at Edinburgh University to study medicine. He did not make a good medic. This was long before anaesthetic, and Darwin found the brutal techniques of surgery too stomach-churning to handle. But there was an upside. Edinburgh was one of the best places in Britain to study science. It attracted free thinkers with radical opinions that would not have been tolerated in Oxford and Cambridge. Among other things, Darwin heard speakers talk about the latest theories of transmutation, as evolution was then known. Collecting beetles in Cambridge Darwin was an avid collector of beetles Abandoning plans to be a doctor, Darwin now considered a career in the Church. Aged 18, he went to study Divinity at Cambridge. Though he held fairly conventional beliefs in God, Darwin wasn't particularly keen on this new direction. But training to be a clergyman meant he had plenty of time to pursue his real passion: biology. He spent much of his time collecting beetles and walking on the Fens.

He graduated in 1831 but before he could take a job as a cleric, the chance of a lifetime would come his way. I saw two rare beetles and seized one in each hand; then I saw a third… I popped the one which I held in my right hand into my mouth. Charles Darwin describes his Cambridge years in his autobiography 1831 Setting sail around the world HMS Beagle was Darwin's home for five years Darwin’s tutor at Cambridge recommended him as a ‘gentleman naturalist’ on a voyage around the world on HMS Beagle. Darwin jumped at the chance. Over the following five years, Darwin visited four continents, spending much of his time on land collecting specimens and investigating the local geology. He also had long periods with nothing to do but read and reflect. Books such as Charles Lyell's recently published Principles of Geology had a profound impact, making him think about slow processes which occur over vast periods of time. During the trip, Darwin also suffered terrible sea-sickness – the start of a life dogged by illness. The misery I endured from seasickness is beyond what I ever guessed at.

Charles Darwin describes his voyage on the Beagle 1835 ...we seem to be brought somewhat near to that great fact — that mystery of mysteries — the first appearance of new beings on this Earth. Darwin describes the Galapágos Islands in 'The Voyage of the Beagle' 1838 Darwin drafts his first account of evolution You need to have JavaScript enabled to view this clip. What did Darwin write in his secret notebook on evolution? (Clip from 'Darwin's Dangerous Idea', BBC Two) Home again, Darwin showed his specimens to fellow biologists and began writing up his travels. A powerful, elegant idea began to emerge in his mind. Darwin saw how transmutation happened. Animals more suited to their environment survive longer and have more young. Evolution occurred by a process he called 'Natural Selection'. Darwin struggled with the idea; it contradicted his Christian world view. His grandfather had been ostracised for writing about transmutation and he feared the same fate. He decided to gather more evidence before going public. In the meantime, he made his name by publishing an account of his travels. I was very unwilling to give up my belief...

Thus disbelief crept over me at a very slow rate, but was at last complete. Darwin describes his anguish over his ideas in his autobiography 1851 Darwin worries himself sick Charles Darwin, aged 40 In 1851, Darwin's favourite daughter, 10-year-old Anne, sickened and died. Darwin also grew ill, suffering long bouts of nausea. Illness had been a recurring feature of his life. He had spent long periods shut away at home, nursed by Emma. Historians offer many explanations for Darwin's symptoms. Some suggest tropical disease. Others argue his symptoms were largely psychosomatic, brought on by anxiety. Periods of sickness often coincided with stressful events. His health would grow worse when the time came to go public with his new theory. The letter that lit a fire Darwin and Wallace independently came up with the theory of evolution by natural selection By summer 1858, Darwin had written a quarter of a million words on evolution – and published none. Then a letter compelled him to go public. Alfred Russel Wallace was an admirer of Darwin's. Inspired by the Beagle voyage, Wallace set off travelling.

He independently arrived at a theory of natural selection and wanted Darwin's advice on how to publish. Darwin realised that if he didn't go public quickly then Wallace would take credit for the new ideas, but Wallace was abroad and uncontactable. This left Darwin in a moral quandary. As well as agonising over whether to speak out, he had to decide how to treat Wallace fairly. Darwin and Wallace rewrite the theory of evolution Darwin and Wallace presented their accounts of evolution at the same meeting Darwin finally went public with his groundbreaking theory of evolution by natural selection, while making sure that Wallace received some credit. Darwin's ideas were presented to Britain's leading Natural History body, the Linnean Society. After consulting with colleagues, Darwin agreed that extracts from his and Wallace's papers should be presented at the same meeting. Wallace, on his return, accepted that Darwin had treated him fairly. But Darwin missed the presentation. A private tragedy struck: his son died of scarlet fever, aged just 18 months. I am quite prostrated, and can do nothing... I hardly care about it.

Darwin's moment of glory was overshadowed by the death of his son Charles November 1859 Darwin publishes 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection' Darwin's account of evolution polarised opinion Still wracked by doubt, Darwin finally published his new theory of evolution. It would become one of the most important books ever written. Darwin described writing it as like 'living in Hell'. He dreaded losing his reputation, as his grandfather Erasmus had. Charles did draw fierce criticism from the Church, and from some parts of the press. Many people were shaken by the book's key implication: that human beings were descended from apes, though Darwin only hinted at it. However, some were now willing to listen to evidence for evolution – especially from a leading figure like Darwin. One general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings, namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die. Charles Darwin, from 'On the Origin of Species' June 1860 Evolution on trial at Oxford University You need to have JavaScript enabled to view this clip. Andrew Marr re-enacts key moments from the Oxford Debate.

(Clip from 'Darwin's Dangerous Idea', BBC Two) Darwin was reluctant to defend his ideas in public. It was left to others – notably a young biologist named Thomas Huxley – to take up the fight. In the 19th Century, scientific talks were popular entertainment and any debate about evolution was sure to draw crowds. Huxley's most famous clash came at meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. In what many saw as a key battle between science and God, Huxley went head to head with Bishop Samuel Wilberforce and his Biblical account of creation. Both sides claimed victory. The debate has become part of the Darwin legend and shows how his ideas shook Victorian society. Professor Huxley had said that he didn't see that it mattered much to a man whether his grandfather were an ape or no! A witness recalls the Oxford University debate 1862 A worrying inheritance Charles Darwin and his son William, taken in 1842 Darwin wrote a warning about close relatives having children, buried in an obscure botanical textbook. He was already worried about his own marriage. Darwin and his cousin Emma had ten children and Charles was a devoted father.

Yet the couple had now lost a son and two daughters, and nursed others through illness. Darwin knew that orchids were less healthy when they self-fertilised and worried that inbreeding within his own family may have caused problems. Yet when Darwin lobbied to add questions on cousin-marriage to the 1871 census he was refused. Queen Victoria had married her cousin, and Darwin was challenging another taboo. Nature thus tells us, in the most emphatic manner, that she abhors perpetual self-fertilisation. Darwin's work on the fertilisation of orchids led him to worry about inbreeding in his own family 1869 Survival of the fittest Darwin's Galapágos finches demonstrate the priniciple of 'Survival of the Fittest'. Each has adapted to its environment. Origin of Species was a bestseller worldwide and went into multiple editions. With each new edition, Darwin strengthened his arguments. By responding to critics, he was able to build a more robust case. For the 5th edition he introduced the phrase 'survival of the fittest', borrowed from philosopher Herbert Spencer. The phrase has become shorthand for Darwin's idea.

Unlike 'natural selection', it doesn't imply a divine being selecting anything. Darwin now described himself as an 'agnostic' – a term coined by Huxley. February 1871 Darwin publishes 'The Descent of Man' Darwin's account of human evolution made him an easy target for cartoonists, and his caricature was familiar to all More than a decade after his 'Origin of Species', Darwin found courage to publish ideas he had once only hinted at. In 'The Descent of Man' he presented an unequivocal account of human evolution. The book was another challenge to Christian orthodoxy. Yet in the decade since Darwin had gone public, his ideas had gained acceptance. Victorian society remained deeply divided about the idea that humans shared an ancestor with apes, but many respectable thinkers were now ‘Darwinists’. ...a small book of little moment... I have little strength and feel very old. Darwin describes his final book: 'The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms' 19 April 1882 Darwin dies Darwin was buried at Westminster Abbey on 26 April 1882 Still troubled by ill health, Darwin worked until the end.

He died a virtual recluse, surrounded by his wife and a few devoted friends. In his final months Darwin was tended by Emma, who had stood by him despite their differences in religious belief. Realising that his powers were fading, he described his local graveyard as 'the sweetest place on Earth'. Yet his followers, including the indomitable Huxley, had grander plans. He was buried at Westminster Abbey. Charles Darwin - Biologist, Scientist - Biography.com Charles Darwin Charles Darwin is best known for his work as a naturalist, developing a theory of evolution to explain biological change. IN THESE GROUPS » quotes “A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.” “[How great the] difference between savage and civilized man is—it is greater than between a wild and [a] domesticated animal.” “If all men were dead, then monkeys make men.

Men make angels.” “I am a complete millionaire in odd and curious little facts.” “Multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die.” “For the shield may be as important for victory, as the sword or spear.” “I see no good reason why the views given in this volume should shock the religious feelings of anyone."[In 'Origin of the Species']” “A grain in the balance may determine which individuals shall live and which shall die—which variety or species shall increase in number, and which shall decrease, or finally become extinct.” “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.

But I can find out no such case.” “The extinction of species and of whole groups of species, which has played so conspicuous a part in the history of the organic world, almost inevitably follows from the principle of natural selection.” “There is grandeur in this view of life...from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.” Charles Darwin Charles Darwin - A Fantastic Voyage (TV-PG; 1:24) Charles Darwin dreamed of traveling the world and an opportunity presented itself with Captain Fitzroy and the HMS Beagle. Synopsis Naturalist Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England, on February 12, 1809. In 1831, he embarked on a five-year survey voyage around the world on the HMS Beagle. His studies of specimens around the globe led him to formulate his theory of evolution and his views on the process of natural selection. In 1859, he published On the Origin of Species. He died on April 19, 1882, in London.

Early Life Naturalist Charles Robert Darwin was born on February 12, 1809, in the tiny merchant town of Shrewsbury, England. He was the second youngest of six children. Darwin came from a long line of scientists. His father, Dr. R.W. Darwin, was as a medical doctor, and his grandfather, Dr. Erasmus Darwin, was a renowned botanist. Darwin’s mother, Susanna, died when he was only 8 years old. Darwin was a child of wealth and privilege who loved to explore nature. In October 1825, at age 16, Darwin enrolled at Edinburgh University along with his brother Erasmus. Two years later, Charles Darwin became a student at Christ's College in Cambridge. His father hoped he would follow in his footsteps and become a medical doctor, but the sight of blood made Darwin queasy. His father suggested he study to become a parson instead, but Darwin was far more inclined to study natural history. Voyage on the HMS Beagle While Darwin was at Christ's College, botany professor John Stevens Henslow became his mentor.

After Darwin graduated Christ's College with a bachelor of arts degree in 1831, Henslow recommended him for a naturalist’s position aboard the HMS Beagle. The ship, commanded by Captain Robert FitzRoy, was to take a five-year survey trip around the world. The voyage would prove the opportunity of a lifetime for the budding young naturalist. On December 27, 1831, the HMS Beagle launched its voyage around the world with Darwin in tow. Over the course of the trip, Darwin collected a variety of natural specimens, including birds, plants and fossils. Through hands-on research and experimentation, he had the unique opportunity to closely observe principles of botany, geology and zoology. The Pacific Islands and Galapagos Archipelago were of particular interest to Darwin, as was South America. Upon his return to England in 1836, Darwin began to write up his findings in the Journal of Researches, published as part of Captain FitzRoy's larger narrative and later edited into the Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle. The trip had a monumental affect on Darwin’s view of natural history.

He began to develop a revolutionary theory about the origin of living beings that was contrary to the popular view of other naturalists at the time. Theory of Evolution Darwin's exposure to specimens all over the globe raised important questions. Other naturalists believed that all species either came into being at the start of the world, or were created over the course of natural history. In either case, the species were believed to remain much the same throughout time. Darwin, however, noticed similarities among species all over the globe, along with variations based on specific locations, leading him to believe that they had gradually evolved from common ancestors. He came to believe that species survived through a process called "natural selection," where species that successfully adapted to meet the changing requirements of their natural habitat thrived, while those that failed to evolve and reproduce died off. In 1858, after years of further scientific investigation, Darwin publically introduced his revolutionary theory of evolution in a letter read at a meeting of the Linnean Society. On November 24, 1859, he published a detailed explanation of his theory in his best-known work, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.

Death and Legacy Following a lifetime of devout research, Charles Darwin died at his family home, Down House, in London, on April 19, 1882, and was buried at Westminster Abbey. During the next century, DNA studies revealed evidence of his theory of evolution, although controversy surrounding its conflict with Creationism—the religious view that all of nature was born of God—still abounds today.

You'll learn a bit about what they did and how they thought thanks to their quotations. Famous Scientist Names & Quotes The number of extremely important scientists in all of history is quite large.

We cannot possibly cover them all in one lesson but in this one you'll get to meet a select number, hear their voice through quotes, and learn just a bit about what has made them so famous. Einstein, Edison, & Newton It goes without saying that one of the most famous scientists is none other than Albert Einstein, a German physicist famous for his development of the general theory of relativity in the early 1900s. This, and other works of his, contributed much to our understanding of space, time, physics, and astronomy. One of his more famous purported quotes is 'Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe'. Einstein was known for his eccentricity and humor as well as his utter genius. Of course, another genius would downplay the word genius entirely as 'Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration'. A tireless worker and prolific inventor, Thomas Edison was an American widely known for inventing the phonograph and for his work in the electrical sciences that culminated in the invention of the practical lightbulb.

Many would argue that Einstein's and Edison's work was made possible by the work of prior inventors and scientists, and Englishman Isaac Newton would not have disagreed. He once said that 'If I have seen further than others, it's by standing upon the shoulders of giants', meaning his predecessors. During the Enlightenment, Newton formulated some of the most important physical laws we know of, including those on motion and gravitation. Pauling, Mendeleev, & Pavlov American Linus Pauling once said that 'The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas'. Pauling is one of the most important biochemists of all time and the only person to have won two unshared Nobel Prizes in two different fields. He is probably most famous to the lay public for being a huge proponent of consuming large doses of vitamin C. Another chemist, a Russian by the name of Dmitri Mendeleev, is most famous for his creation of the periodic table of elements, which is able to predict the properties of undiscovered elements!

That's because, as Mendeleev himself said: 'If all the elements are arranged in the order of their atomic weights, a periodic repetition of properties is obtained.' The repeated ringing of a bell led another Russian, that of Ivan Pavlov to become famous for being the father of classical conditioning. He earned the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1904 for his work on the digestive system of dogs. The dogs were conditioned to respond to the stimulus of a tone being associated with food and would eventually salivate at the sound of the bell alone. Aristotle, Darwin, & Galileo Speaking of repetition, 'We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit' said Aristotle, one of the most famous ancient Greek scientists of all time. While much of his work in astronomy and the biological sciences was rudimentary or, as we now know completely false, they were revolutionary in his day and actually heavily influenced much of scientific thought and progress for well over a thousand years after his death.

One of the men that was extremely important to disproving much of Aristotle's work was Italian Galileo Galilei, an astronomer and physicist credited by many to be the father of modern physics and observational astronomy and known for publicizing Copernicus' idea that the Earth revolves around sun. Despite his genius, Galileo was also humble man as he said 'I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him'. Speaking of learning, Englishman Charles Darwin, said 'A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.' Darwin is the father of evolutionary biology. His voyage around the world, especially to the Galapagos Islands, and his observations thereof is what led to our eventual understanding of evolution and natural selection as a part of nature and ourselves. × Time Quotations ~ David Lewis Anderson Paradoxes are simply places where our rational minds bump into their own limitations. ~ David Lewis Anderson We do not see space, time and the universe the way they are, we see space, time and the universe the way we are. ~ David Lewis Anderson To do one must first imagine.

~ David Lewis Anderson Time has always shown that the potential possibilities of any young mind may simply be the most fascinating, stimulating and powerful concept in our universe. ~ David Lewis Anderson Time does not exist. It is simply an illusion of our mind created by our own biological and cultural evolution. ~ David Lewis Anderson People do not want to understand time because it is linked to their own mortality. ~ David Lewis Anderson Time is a very curious thing. Ask anyone on the street if they know what time is. They are sure to answer yes. But then, ask them to explain it to you and they will almost certainly be at a loss for words. ~ David Lewis Anderson Magical, frightening, and God-like are three words that humans might use to describe a fourth-dimensional being if it passed into and through our three-dimensional world. ~ David Lewis Anderson In this century, history will almost certainly become an experimental science.

~ David Lewis Anderson Those who see the true nature of our universe and reality see that it is a fabric woven only of information and energy. Concepts such as elementary particles, space, time, material substance and isolated objects simply are illusions that do not exist and have lost their meaning. ~ David Lewis Anderson One should not underestimate the possibility that thinking, which is an energy-mediated process, might all time viewing, time travel and phenomenon such as precognition. ~ David Lewis Anderson The true nature of the spacetime continuum is a simple and beautiful picture of the harmony and alignment of science, religion and philosophy. ~ David Lewis Anderson In the future people will realize and understand that we, the universe, and everything in it are all part of the same, inseparable, dynamic web of energy. This understanding will usher the masses into deeply personal, thoughtful and inspiring journeys that will help them find their true place in the universe, and the universe within themselves. ~ David Lewis Anderson True understanding lies in looking beyond our own perceived reality which is simply a microscopic image of the very real macroscopic universe in which we live. ~ David Lewis Anderson Time is God's way of keeping everything from happening at once.

Without their contributions, it's difficult to imagine where we would be. With that said, here's my way of giving thanks and showing appreciation to all those who came before us in the field of science and to help inspire other people out there trying to do great things now; famous words from famous scientists. ***** 1.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-American physicist, often considered the definition of genius. Most praised for his Theory of Relativity and mass-energy equivalence (E= MC2) along with countless other additions in the field of physics. Received the Nobel Prize in 1921 for his work in theoretical physics. "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding." "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." 2. Charles Darwin (1809- 1882) Propose the Theory of Evolution through the process of Natural Selection , providing the first accepted and unifying logical explanation for the diversity of life. "A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life. " "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change." 6.

Aristotle (384-233 BCE) Greek philosopher and student of Plato who became educated in physics, metaphysics, poetry, logic, music, politics, ethics, and biology. He was one of the founders of Western Philosophy which connected morality and aesthetics, logic and science, and politics and metaphysics. "Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence" "All human actions have one or more of these seven cause: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire." 7. Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) Scientist, mathematician, inventor, engineer, architect, anatomist, musician, painter, sculptor and writer. It doesn't sound so spectacular written that way but there is no way to be spectacular enough about Da Vinci so that's the best I can do. "Beyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness." "The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions." 8. William Herschel (1738-1822) Astronomer, discovered Uranus, nebulae and binary stars.

He was the first to accurately describe the Milky Way Galaxy as well as the first to discover inferred radiation within space. "All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more and more the truths contained in the sacred scriptures." "If I were to pray for a taste which would stand by me under every variety of circumstances, and be a source of happiness and cheerfulness to me through life, and a shield against its ills, however things might go amiss, and the world frown upon me, it would be a taste for reading." 9. Archimedes (287- 212 BCE) Ancient Greek mathematician, physicist and engineer responsible for contributions in hydrostatics as well as the foundation for calculus. If you've ever had what you called a "Eureka!" moment, he's the scientist who made it famous and he proved sometimes you can do your best science in a bathtub. "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” 10.

James Prescott Joule (1818-1889) Played a fundamental role in the field of physics with his first law of thermodynamics, which Isaac Asimov called "one of the most important generalizations in the history of science." With Lord Kelvin, discovered that gases cool when they expand. "Believing that the power to destroy belongs to the Creator alone I affirm... that any theory which, when carried out, demands the annihilation of force, is necessarily erroneous." ***** So there, my tribute to some of those who shaped our world of science and our understanding of reality. Since their science will never be forgotten, so should their words of advice be remembered. There's no guarantee that remembering how they understood life will make us as great as they are, but it can't hurt either.
