Charles Darwin
Charles Robert Darwin, italianizzato in Carlo Darwin (Shrewsbury, 12 febbraio 1809 – Londra, 19 aprile 1882), è stato un biologo, naturalista, geologo ed esploratore britannico, celebre per aver formulato la teoria dell'evoluzione delle specie vegetali e animali per selezione naturale agente sulla variabilità dei caratteri ereditari, e della loro diversificazione e moltiplicazione per discendenza da un antenato comune. Pubblicò la sua teoria sull'evoluzione delle specie nel libro L'origine delle specie (1859), che è il suo lavoro più noto. Inoltre egli raccolse molti dei dati su cui basò la sua teoria durante un viaggio intorno al mondo sulla nave HMS Beagle, e in particolare durante la sua sosta alle Galápagos.
