* Darwin's family was as strange and
interesting as his insects and pigeons
collections.
* This is his grandfather, ERASMUS DARWIN so famous as a doctor that George III, the king, invited
him to be his personal doctor, but Darwin
refused.
*Darwin's grandfather
was very critical.

What Erasmus Darwin loved more was nature and its origin,
this means natural history.
• In this book called In this book called ZOONOMY he defended ZOONOMY he defended
that all living beings that all living beings EVOLVED to perfection. EVOLVED to perfection.

Darwin's mother, Susana
Wedgewood, was a very
sensitive and religious person and an active
member of Shrewsbury's
church.
![Page 9: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Darwin said that there could be a more cultured person, but his father was the smartest person he had ever known.
In that inusual home environment, cultured, tolerant and free,the young Darwin grew up.
His father, the doctor Robert Darwin,His father, the doctor Robert Darwin, wasn't believer at all.wasn't believer at all.

Darwin's father Darwin's father wanted his son to wanted his son to be a doctor, as all be a doctor, as all the family had the family had been, and decided been, and decided to take him to the to take him to the medical visits so medical visits so that he could get that he could get used to it. used to it.

BUT DARWIN SAID:“The medicine
classes at 8 AM are a nightmare”
and added…
“I can't stand the blood”
… bad situation for someone who's going to be a doctor...
![Page 12: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Darwin didn't study so much but…Darwin didn't study so much but…
He learnt to dissect birds from a taxidermist black friend.
And he got really interested about biology and wildlife.
![Page 13: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The young DarwinThe young Darwin Darwin wasn't a good student, he was just Darwin wasn't a good student, he was just
interested in nature, plants and animals… interested in nature, plants and animals… and in his collections.and in his collections.
![Page 14: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
In the studies...
He didn't go well, but he went to the Scientific Society’s meetings
And when he was 18, he gave his first conference about a larva of leech.
![Page 15: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
In the end he gave up medicine.
His father conviced him to study to be a vicar. Charles Darwin believed in God and being a vicar was a very respectable job that let him time to
investigate.
Charles went to live in the country and he dedicated part of his time to hunt and study the Natural History.
![Page 16: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
And he went to Cambridge:
He was going to study to be a vicar of the anglican church.
There, the teachers defended religious points of view. They didn´ t like science or new ideas.
![Page 17: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
He met Henslow (His new teacher)
• Although the classes were usually boring, Henslow´ s classes were different.
• And the teacher Henslow did things such as taking care of a botanical garden that was in Cambridge.
![Page 18: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Henslow was the person who invited Darwin to participate on the trip around the world on the HMS beagle.He was 22 years old.He said “Yes”, although 3 of the 5 years, he had to be in land (He was very ill on the ship)He dedicated that time to think, write and pick up more plants, minerals and animals.
![Page 19: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In the Galapagos he observed the small differences between the species of the finches and the tortoises. He observed earthquakes, fossils or shells at sea level, even coral islands that had sunk.Darwin agreed with Lyell: the world is formed by gradual changes, sometimes sudden, about a permanent change.
![Page 20: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In his house in 1836 Darwin ordered and classified his collection because Henslow kept all his studies.
![Page 21: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
He gave conferences about fossils and reefs and he had scientific meetings with their friends Lyell, Owen, Henslow…
He wrote a report about the coral islands.
![Page 22: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In 1837 Darwin started writing his “Diary of a voyage on the Beagle”. It was the most read voyage book in the 19th century.
![Page 23: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
That year Gould said to Darwin that the finches that Darwin gave him, taken from three different Galapagos islands, belonged to three different species.
So they were not three varieties of the same species, as Darwin thought.
![Page 24: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
And he concluded that a new species can appear if that species is isolated from its own species.
Then if the three species of finches from the Galapagos islands come from a common ancestor…all the finches of America come from a common species …
![Page 25: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
And so on…
IT is the EVOLUTION tree .
![Page 26: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Darwin read Malthus, who considered that human beings will grow in geometrical progression while food grows in aritmethical progression. In the end there will be more people than food. And the excess of people will be reduced for hunger, diseases or wars.
Darwin was surprised with the ideas of Malthus, because he saw the big force of nature. A lot of creatures multiply in great amounts, but only a few survive.
![Page 27: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
He applied this to the animals and living beings:When there are bad conditions only those who adapt
better, will survive. For example, in a bird community not all of them are equal, those with a harder beak are able to change their diet and eat seeds, so they will survive better and will reproduce more, and transmit that ability
to their children.
He named this “natural selection process”.
This is evolution
mechanism.
![Page 28: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Aged 30, Darwin married his cousin, Emma.
He had 10 children and lived happily with her in their house near Kent county.
Emma was so religious that she asked Darwin in a letter to rethink about his vision on creationism.
Darwin didn't accept, but he cried each time he saw the letter.
![Page 29: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
In 1844 he wrote to his wife “I have just finished the sketch for the species theory. I ask you to publish it if die”.
And he wrote to a botanist friend, Hooker: ” I am watching the light coming and I' am convinced (opposite to my initial thinking) that the species are not... (this seems the confession of a murder) unchangeable”
Only his scientist mates knew a part of his work that would still take 15 years to be finished and printed.
![Page 30: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Darwin didn't publish it to avoid the polemic that his theory was going to produce. He wanted that time and that energy to continue investigating, to store more data, probes, and enjoy. And also, since he went back to Britain, he suffered a strange illness that would never pass: he often suffered from headaches, vomit, shivers and convulsions.
![Page 31: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
But in 1858 the naturalist Wallace sent him a paper from the Malaysian islands with the main elements of Darwin's theory.
Wallace asked Darwin to read it, to know if he agreed with it, to publish it.
Wallace had discovered Darwin's secret by himself!
![Page 32: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Darwin wrote a new version of his book “Origin of the Species”
It was published in 1859, and became “the book that revolutionized the world”
The first day all the books were sold. There were crowds of people waiting for the publication of more books.
It was translated into 30 languages but it didn’t come to Spain until 1877. However, its controversy appeared much sooner.
![Page 33: Darwin 01. English . A Summary In Just 40 Slides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55510c9bb4c9057b478b5686/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Wallace was very elegant: he accepted Darwin's supremacy and he called the new theory"
Darwinism”.
In the 20th century, advances in Palaeontology and Genetics reinforced and completed the original theory. It's the current Theory of Neodarwinism.
“Nothing has any sense in biology if it is not considered through the eyes of evolution". T. Dobzhansky

Darwin was responsible for a clear difference in society before and after his books publications.
Evolutionists and non evolucionists were born. Some people said that the church couldn't agree with evolutionism and believe in God at the same time.

Although his work caused a great controversy, Darwin didn't stop receiving honours and distinctions until his death in 1882, aged 73. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, next to Isaac Newton.It is the maximun honour that an English man can receive after his death. • Nowadays
museums, libraries and universities all over the world have his name.

Today we are celebrating 200 YEARS of that THEORYwhich is so important for science.
Happily and without any dogma.
