About the Author
Darwin, Charles: - CHARLES DARWIN (1809-1882), English scientist, naturalist, and geologist, revolutionized science, especially biology, with his theory of evolution through natural selection. As a passenger aboard the Beagle, Darwin became intrigued by the existence of different species in different geographical locations, which aided in the development of his theory. In addition to The Origin of Species, he is also remembered for The Voyage of the Beagle, and The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.Darwin, Francis: - FRANCIS DARWIN (1848-1925) was the seventh child of Charles Darwin and worked with his father in the study of botany. His book, The Practical Physiology of Plants (1894) was the first of its kind, and The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin (1887) is his best-known work.
