Darwin was a well respected physician, English Naturalist as a collector and a geologist, and theologist. His Contributions and theory's such as the process of natural selection is still one of the pillars of modern science today. His experiences that led him to these theory's is his love for nature as a child and his many diverse studies in science.

Charles Darwin was and English naturalist and geologist, best known for his contributions to evolutionary theory.

He was credited for discovering the theory of evolution and his contributions to natural selection and natural sciences.

Charles Darwin's voyages and ideas shook the world. A war ship named the H.M.S. Beagle That Darwin was invited to. From England on it took him to places such as the Galapagos islands where he saw such oddities as volcanic rocks and giant tortoises. Later then traveling to many other places that helped Darwin define the theory of elevation and to south america before returning to England.

Some of his observations along his voyage is the giant tortoises of the Galapagos Islands, and the large volcanic rocks there. And He noticed the mocking birds would change just a little bit from each island he went to.

The Processes of natural selection is how organisms develop as a species.
Mutations occur in offspring when individuals in a species reproduce. This can be good or bad for the species Making it easier to survive in the environment they're in or make it harder to survive. This was one of Darwin's biggest theories.

There is overwhelming evidence of evolution found through our earth including fossils of their evolutionary change through millions of years, Homologous having the same structure building as their ancestors today, and artificial selection in agriculture or laboratories is a model for natural selection. Looking at interactions of organisms in ecosystems helps us to understand how populations adapt over time.

When ever a species reproduces over time mutations can occur. It can be good to help them survive in the environment or make it worse. A good mutation is called an adaptation because it helps them adapt to the environment.

Natural selection can take many forms. For example, if we were talking about height as a trait, we would see that without any selection pressure on this trait, the heights of individuals in a population would vary, with most individuals being of an average height and lower being extremely short or extremely tall. When selection pressures act on a trait, this distribution can be altered.
