Charles Darwin

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

Near the end of Darwin's life, many people requested autographs from him such as this one, circa 1879

Darwin's theories still remain relevant today and are widely accepted as truth with the added evidence of genetics and modern research

My theory is going to become famous one day, I just know it. I have discovered a huge secret of the Earth! #abstract

[Charles Darwin @CharlieeeDarwin]

Well, the day has finally come. It is 1859 and I am publishing my abstract "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" #proud

[Charles Darwin @CharlieeeDarwin]

Oh heck no. Some punk named Wallace actually thinks he can just come out of nowhere and claim MY theory as his own? #nicetry #nothappening

I've written a book about my research but I just don't think the world is ready for it. I'm entrusting it to Emma to publish after my death

[Charles Darwin @CharlieeeDarwin]

January 29th, 1839: Marrying my cousin Emma today! #hadtomoveonefromFanny #Emmascutetoo #gettingmarried #husbandmaterial

[Charles Darwin @CharlieeeDarwin]

I don't think Fanny doesn't want anyone to know about us...she always tells me to burn her letters :( #feelingsad

[Charles Darwin @CharlieeeDarwin]

My theory of natural selection basically comes down to this: the population changes as advantageous heritable characteristics become common

[Charles Darwin @CharlieeeDarwin]

Friends this is what Ive been working on. The left, my observations. Then my inferences and on the right, my theory

[Charles Darwin @CharlieeeDarwin]

Come to the conclusion that species are not immutable as I once believed but constantly changing and evolving to adapt to their surroundings

[Charles Darwin @CharlieeeDarwin]

Heading home now...it'll be nice to finally have my feet back on solid ground permanently! This voyage has changed how I view the world
