In this blog, we will explore the life, scientific achievements, and lasting legacy of Charles Darwin, whose contributions to biology continue to impact science today. Early Life and Education Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England, in a wealthy and well-connected family on February 12, 1809. His father, Robert Darwin, was a physician, and his grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, was a prominent scientist and philosopher.
