The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, was born on February 12, 1809. As a boy, Charles liked to go for walks in the fields and forests, watching nature, and comparing what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many things: birds, stones, and leaves.      At sixteen Darwin was sent to Edinburgh University to become a doctor. But he was interested in the history of nature.      Then he was sent to study at Cambridge University. There he studied until 1831.      Some time later he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and wanted a scientist. His professor advised him to go. So when the Beagle left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it.      The expedition lasted almost five' years. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants.      In 1842 Darwin went to live in Kent, and there he continued his studies of change in nature. Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change. By 1859 Darwin had finished his famous book The, Origin of Species. It made a great noise in the world of science. In 1871 Darwin wrote another important book.      Darwin continued his studies in science until he died in 1882.
