Who is CHARLES DARWIN?

He was an important writer & scientist who studied the behaviour & habitats of many animals to see how they were changing & living in their different environments. He noticed that many animals had evolved & changed their bodies over time so they could live longer & survive better.



This year is actually quite a special year for Darwin as it was his 200th birthday on the 12th of February and it will have been 150 years since he wrote his famous book, The Origin of the Species, which introduced the world to the theory of evolution!
