Charles Darwin.
Charles Robert Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 in Sherewsbury and died April 19, 1882. It was an English naturalist who postulated that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors through a process called natural selection. The evolution was accepted as fact by the scientific community and much of the public in his lifetime, while his theory of evolution by natural selection was not considered as the primary explanation of the evolutionary process until years and currently 1930 and now it is the basis of modern evolutionary synthesis. In modified form, Darwin's scientific discoveries are still the foundation charter of biology as a science, since they constitute a logical explanation that unifies observations about the diversity of life.
