CHARLES DARWIN 1809-1882

Together with the true birth of Abraham Lincoln, 12 February 1809 in Shrewsbury, England. The Charles Darwin theory of organic evolution in the sense that natural selection is at the age of sixteen years old entered the University of Edinburg study medicine, but the anatomy and medical science deems that I fed. Not long after he moved to Cambridge to study elements of the administration office. Despite the hunt, and ride in Cambridge is far more digemarinya science rather than learn it. And even if so, yet he can still mesmerize a mahagurunya attention is encouraged to participate in the investigation on the cruise ship HMS Beagle as a naturalist. At first his father's objection to the appointment of this. Pikirnya, that kind of travel is just a pretext only Darwin is reluctant to work seriously. Fortunately, the latter may be the father, and bless the journey that eventually turns out that travel is most valuable in the history of European science.

Darwin start sailing departing on the ship Beagle year 1831. That time the new age twenty-two years. In the five-year voyage, the world's ship Beagle, along coastal South America in the speed that fascinate, to investigate the Galapagos archipelago in remote desert, mengambah islands in the Pacific, in India Ocean and the southern Atlantic Ocean. In perkelanaan it, Darwin witnessed the many natural wonders, miracles, the primitive tribes, to find a large number of fossil-fossil, examine the various kinds and types of animals tetumbuhan. More than that, he makes a lot of notes about what is passing in front of the eyes. Notes this is the basic material for almost all his work in the future. From the records this is derived the main ideas, events and experiences and thus supporting the theory-theory.

Darwin returned to his country and the year 1836 twenty years after he published a book sebarisan that lifting became a biolog celebrated in the UK. As of 1837 years since Darwin believe that the correct animal and tetumbuhan not be fixed, but changes in the history of geology. At that time he was not aware of what the causal evolution is happening. In 1838 he read the essay "About the principles of" Thomas Malthus. Malthus this book menyuguhkannya facts that encouraged more sure of natural selection through competition to sustain life. Even after successful Darwin formulate principles alamiahnya selection, he was not in a hurry to print and publish it. He was aware, theory akan invite challenges. Therefore, he needs time to carefully prepare the evidence and install the horse to maintain hipotesanya if there are attacks.

Outline of theory written in the year 1842 and year 1844 he started preparing a book length. In June 1858, when Darwin are still add-nambah and refine the paper size of the book, he received a manuscript from Alfred Russel Wallace (a British naturalist who was in the East) highlighted the theory of evolution itself. In each of the basic theory together with the Wallace theory of Darwin! Wallace prepared the theory truly stand on its own pikirannya and send the manuscript to the writings of Darwin and ask for comments from the famous scientist before entering the printing. The situation does not become good because of easy growing contention so you do not want to grab a priority. Way out, both Wallace and script outline the theory of Darwin is reviewed concurrently by a scientific body in the following month.

Simply surprise, pengedepanan this problem is not so diacuhkan people. Book Darwin The Origin of Species published in the next year, cause a commotion. Indeed, the fact may never have published a book of knowledge so widespread and so the conversation is so so warm, in the environmental scientists and general public, such as occurred in the book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The preservation of Favored Races in the Strugle for Life. Compete each other in an argument remain exciting year in 1871 when Darwin published The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex. This book, the idea that human beings come from a kind of monkey, the increase exclaim him in the debate.

Darwin does not itself take part in public debate in the face of the theory that dilontarkannya. Could be because health because postwar perkelanaannya so parrjang the ship Beagle (most likely due to fever, Chaga disease due to insect bite in Latin America). And can be simply because she was such a tenacious supporter Thomas H. Huxley candidate debate and a defense theory of Darwin, most scientists agree the basics of the theory of Darwin, when the niati year 1882.

In fact - if want to talk or not bona fide proof - not the first inventor Darwin theory of evolution being. Some people have menyuarakannya before him, including the French naturalist Jean Lamarek Darwin and own grandfather, Erasmus Darwin.

However, their hypothesis was never received by the world of science because it can not afford to give confidence to the way how and what evolution occurred. Darwin is the largest donation bear not only serve the mechanism of natural selection that lead to the occurrence of natural evolution, but he was also able to serve a lot of evidence to support hipotesanya.

Worthy note, the theory of Darwin formulated the theory of the genetic form of any or even he know absolutely nothing about that. Darwin in the period, no one understood how a particular item the next generation. Although Gregor Mendel merampungkan are the laws of descent in the early years concurrently with the time Darwin published the book and write a history of repair, the results support the work of Mendel theory so sempurnanya Darwin, Mendel nearly fully diacuhkan not until the year 1900, when the theory of Darwin is so well-established and steady. So, in regard to our modern understanding of evolution - which is a combination of genetic science to the law of the seed of natural selection - rather than more complete theory of Darwin disodorkan.

The influence of Darwin on the human mind in sekah. In terms of pure science, of course, he has been doing all aspects of the follow-revolutionary field of biology. Natural selection have exactly the principle that fundamental and very knowledgeable, and various experiments have been done in various application fields, such as anthropology, sociology, political science and economics.

Perhaps even more important influence of Darwin on the religious rather than thinking in terms of science or sociology. During the Darwin and many years afterwards, many true Christians believe that the theory of Darwin to receive means to decrease the degree of religious belief. Concerns they might have this principle even more clearly because of other factors that lunturnya so because religious beliefs. (Darwin itself into a secular).

Even on the basis of the secular, Darwin theory, lead to major changes in the way people think in terms of their particulars of the world they (the people he appears) as a whole no longer occupies a central position in the natural scheme of nature was being as they akukan. Now we must consider ourselves as one of the only part of the many creatures and we acknowledge the possibility that once tempo akan tergeser. As a result of the investigation results of Darwin, the views of Heraclitus said, "No one is permanent except change" becomes more widely accepted. Successful theory of evolution as a general explanation about the origin of human mengokohkan have more trust in the ability of science to answer all questions the physical world (although not all problems of mankind and humanity). Darwin term, "the strong defeat the weak" and "Struggle for life" has been included as a part our dictionary.

Indeed, the theory of Darwin akan terjelaskan also for example even though Darwin never lived in the world. Moreover, measured by what has been produced by Wallace, this is the very truth, the more respect from anyone listed in the list in this book. However, the writings of Darwin has revolutionize biology and antropolgi and he had to change our views about the man in the world.
