Evolution of a scientist

Article Abstract:

Charles Darwin, son of a doctor, in 1831 at the age of 22, onboard HMS Beagle formulated some ideas about evolution after studying the animal population on the island of Galapagos. He, however, published his ideas 28 years later and since then his theory of evolution about the origin of life has led to constant debates and criticism.
