WHO WAS DARWIN

Signing of Darwin Published his theory on the evolution of species in the book the origin of species (1859), which is his best-known work. He collected many of the data on which he based his theory on a trip around the world on HMS Beagle, and in particular during his stop at Isole Galápagos ".
