Charles Darwin

     Charles Darwin was one of the best scientists in our worlds history because even at a young age he was inspired to do science. When Darwin was at the age of 22 he took a journey around the world making him one of the youngest people to ever make a complete around the world journey in the18 hundreds .
     Then in 1859 Darwin  formulated a theory that he named " natural selection" only to write a book on his theory that very same year! When he wrote that book he named it " On The Origin Of  Species By The Means Of Natural Selection. But, surprisingly enough Darwin was confused by his own theory. He knew that organisms were born, raised, had offspring that had there own genetics including some of its parents genetics and died .
     Easy enough right? But not to Darwin he wanted to find out how the genetics were passed on so he perservered and studied only to find nothing that helped him on what he needed . So, he found the theory of who inspired him to be a scientist none other than Charles Lyell who was a geologist.  Darwin was a very determined man but determination wasn't enough Darwin never found the complete truth of how genetics worked.
         Today many people say that Darwin would be proud today of the world but who knows?
