He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors, and in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding.<br ><br > Darwin published his theory of evolution with compelling evide Copyright: xxPicturesxFromxHistoryx

Portrait of Charles Robert Darwin 1809 -1896), the great naturalist, in his middle age c.1854. From Darwin and the Beagle by Alan Moorhead, page 268. Charles Robert Darwin was a British naturalist who achieved lasting fame as the originator of the theory of evolution through natural selection. Darwin s five-year voyage on the Beagle brought him eminence as a geologist and fame as a popular author. His biological observations led him to study the transmutation of species and develop his theory of natural selection in 1838. His 1859 book, The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, established evolution by common descent as the dominant scientific theory of diversification in nature.
