What kind of secondary school did Darwin study at?
Today it’s my turn to introduce the British scientist, Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin was born in Shropshire, England, on February 12, 1809. He was the fifth child of a wealthy and sophisticated English family. His maternal grandfather was a successful china and pottery entrepreneur; his paternal grandfather was a well-known 18th-century physician and expert. After graduating from the elite school at Shrewsbury in 1825, young Darwin went to the University of Edinburgh to study medicine. In 1827 he dropped out of medical school and entered the University of Cambridge, in preparation for becoming a clergyman of the Church of England. There he met two great figures: Adam Sedgwick, a geologist, and John Stevens Henslow, a naturalist. Henslow not only helped build Darwin’s self-confidence but also taught his student to be a cautious and hardworking observer of natural phenomena and collector of specimens. After graduation from Cambridge in 1831, the 22-year-old Darwin was taken aboard the English survey ship HMS Beagle, largely on Henslow’s recommendation, as an unpaid naturalist on a scientific expedition around the world. After returning to England in 1836, Darwin began recording his ideas about change ability of species in his notebooks on the Transmutation of Species. In 1859 he married his first cousin, Emma Wedgwood, and soon after, moved to a small estate, Down House, outside London. There he and his wife had ten children, three of whom died in infancy. Charles Darwin laid the foundation of modern evolutionary theory with his concept of the development of all forms of life through the slow working process of natural selection. His work was of major influence on the life and earth sciences and on modern thought in general.
Well, that’s the brief introduction about Darwin’s life. Next we’ll discuss his "Theory of Natural Selection".
