    CHARLES DARWIN
    .  Charles Darwin (1809–1882) was an English naturalist and author whose books explaining his theories of evolution,
    On the Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection
    (1859) and
    The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex
    (1871), take the place among the most influential text in the history of scientific thought.
