Charles Darwin
Charles Robert Darwin
, (; 12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English
naturalist
and
geologist
, best known for his contributions to evolutionary theory. He established that all
species
of life have descended over time from
common ancestors
, and in a joint publication with
Alfred Russel Wallace
introduced his
scientific theory
that this
branching pattern
of
evolution
resulted from a process that he called
natural selection
, in which the
struggle for existence
has a similar effect to the
artificial selection
involved in
selective breeding
.
