Charles Darwin

Friends:
Joseph Ho**er because he defended Charles' evolution theory.
Thomas Huxley because he was in a famous debate about the advancement of science and whether or not Charles Darwin’s theory was accurate.
Charles Lyell because they were on the Beagle together.
Jean Baptiste Lamarck was a zoologist who first developed the adaptation theory. He and Darwin shared the same intellect about evolution.
Thomas Malthus because he came up with the idea that the population of humans would grow faster than food production. Charles used his thoughts in his theory, so they would have been close and talked about science with each other.
Alfred Russel Wallace because he collaborated with Darwin on the theory of evolution.

Charles Darwin would be feeling smart since he spends most of his time reading and researching multiple areas of biology, geology, and naturalism.

Network:
Charles Darwin’s historical or modern theoretical approach fits evolution the most. The evolutionary psychological approach attempts to explain useful mental and psychological traits - memory, perception, or language - as adaptations or the functional products of natural selection. It focuses on how favorable adaptations of human nature are inherited more than worse adaptations. These could be emotions or problem-solving skills. Evolutionary psychology theory suggests that our brains adapted instinctual fear and caution around snakes.
Charles Darwin’s work falls into this approach because he came up with the survival of the fittest theory. He discovered that animals pass down favorable traits more than worse traits because the animal survived and gathered enough food to eat while other animals with worse traits couldn’t manage to gather enough food.

About Me:
Charles Darwin was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist who is best known for his natural selection theory. He was born on February 12, 1809. He died when he was 73 on April 19, 1882. He married his first cousin, Emma Darwin. He was awarded Fellow of the Royal Society, Copley Medal, Royal Medal, and Wollaston Metal. He had 10 kids with his wife, three died in childhood and the other seven lived long lives.
His natural selection theory is that the population grows more rapidly than resources and food. So, the best organisms with the heritable traits that are better suited to the environment survive while the other organisms who don’t have traits to help them survive end up dying. The organisms that survive pass on their traits to their offspring. The cycle continues to repeat until mutations have occurred, which have helped the organisms survive in the wild against other competitors. This theory is taught in biology in school today.

Work History:
He became a new fellow of the Geological Society in January 1837. He became secretary of the society by 1838. He wrote the book ‘Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the Various Countries Visited by H.M.S. Beagle’ (1839). He then employed the best experts and published their descriptions of his specimens in his ‘Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle’ (1838-1843). Darwin devised his theory of evolution around 1832. Charles Darwin then filled notebooks with jottings for two years. His theory about “natural selection” was mostly complete in 1839. He wrote a 35-page sketch of his theory in 1842, which was expanded in 1844. In 1842, he shut himself away in the Down House and focused on bees, flowers, and barnacles and on his books on coral reefs and South American geology. Charles Darwin pursued a detailed study of all known barnacles from 1846 to 1854. He started writing a book called ‘Natural Selection’ in 1856. Darwin was sworn in as a justice of the peace in 1857. In 1858, Alfred Russel Wallace sent Darwin a letter about a similar-looking theory, and Darwin accepted Lyell’s and Ho**er’s solution. They read joint extracts from Darwin’s and Wallace’s works together at the Linnean Society on July 1, 1858. Charles unfortunately missed the first public presentation of the theory of natural selection. He sold his book ‘On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life’ (1859). Then, he published yet another pook called ‘The Various Contrivances by which British and Foreign Orchids are Fertilised by Insects’ (1862). Thomas Huxley helped Darwin gain the Royal Society’s Copley Medal in 1864. He published another book called ‘Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication’ (1868). The next book he published is ‘The Effects of Cross and Self Fertilization in the Vegetable Kingdom’ (1876). A year later, he wrote ‘The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species’ (1877). These two books are about how evolution in some species favoured different male and female flowers to outbreed. In order to explain evolution of human races, morality, and civilization, Charles wrote his two-volume book ‘The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex’ (1871). Since Charles Darwin loves expressions, he wrote the book ‘The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals’ (1872). The last book he wrote is ‘The Formation of Vegetable Mould, Through the Action of Worms’ (1881).
