Charles Darwin was born in 1809 to an upper-middle-class medical
family. He was destined for a career in either medicine or the
Anglican Church but never completed his medical studies- his future
changed entirely in 1831 when he joined HMS Beagle as a naturalist.
On returning to England in 1836 he began to write up his theories
and observations which culminated in a series of books, most
famously On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in
1859. He died in 1882 and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
Joe Cain is Senior Lecturer in History and Philosophy of Biology at
University College London (UCL). His expertise is in the history of
evolutionary studies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,
Darwin and historical memory.
" He who admits, on general grounds, that the structure and habits
of all animals have been gradually evolved will look at the whole
subject of Expression in a new and interesting light."
-Charles Darwin
