The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Robert Darwin (查尔斯·罗伯特·达尔文), was born in England on February 12, 1809. As a boy, Charles liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He enjoyed 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, eggs, stones and leaves.

At sixteen, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh University (爱丁堡大学) to become a doctor. But he was interested in the history of nature.

Then he was sent to study in Cambridge University (剑桥大学). There he studied until 1831.

His teacher advised him to go. So when the Beagle left England in December,1831, Darwin was on it.

The trip 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.
