Charles Darwin  

Definition

  • Charles Robert Darwin, Fellow of the Royal Society, was an English naturalist who realized—and presented compelling evidence—that all species of life have derived over time from common ancestors through the process he called natural selection. The debate on Darwin's theory of evolution is a unique case for observing some particular ways in which science is perceived and experienced in society.
