This day is used to highlight Darwin&#8217;s contributions to science and also to promote science in general. Charles Darwin was an English naturalist whose scientific theory of evolution by natural selection became the foundation of modern evolutionary studies. Darwin&#8217;s theory of evolution stated that species change over time, give rise to new species, and share a common ancestor. He proposed that organisms with the strongest and most desirable characteristics are best able to survive and reproduce.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Early_Life_and_Education_of_Charles_Darwin\"><\/span><strong>Early Life and Education of <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Charles Darwin<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"70\" data-end=\"491\">Charles Robert Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 in <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Shrewsbury<\/span><\/span>, at his family home, The Mount. He was the fifth of six children of Robert Darwin and Susannah Darwin. From a young age, Darwin showed a strong interest in natural history and began collecting specimens while attending day school. At 16, he worked as an apprentice doctor, assisting his father in treating the poor of Shropshire.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"493\" data-end=\"817\">Darwin later enrolled at the <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">University of Edinburgh Medical School<\/span><\/span> but found the lectures dull and surgeries distressing, leading him to leave after two years. During his time there, he met biologist <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Robert Edmond Grant<\/span><\/span>, who became an important mentor and encouraged his interest in invertebrate zoology.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"819\" data-end=\"1039\">Unhappy with his academic direction, his father sent him to <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Christ&#8217;s College, Cambridge<\/span><\/span> to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree with the intention of becoming an Anglican clergyman. He completed his degree in 1831.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"x3glmw\" data-start=\"1046\" data-end=\"1073\"><strong>The Voyage of HMS Beagle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1338\">On 27 December 1831, at the age of 22, Darwin embarked on a nearly five-year voyage aboard the <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">HMS Beagle<\/span><\/span> as a self-financed companion to Captain <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Robert FitzRoy<\/span><\/span>. The expedition aimed to survey coastal Patagonia.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1340\" data-end=\"1728\">During the journey, Darwin spent much of his time on land studying geology, collecting natural history specimens, and exploring regions such as the <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Andes Mountains<\/span><\/span> and Brazilian jungles. Though he spent only about 18 months at sea, he compiled extensive notes, including a 770-page diary, 1,750 pages of scientific notes, and 12 catalogs documenting 5,436 specimens.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"wvq3ij\" data-start=\"1735\" data-end=\"1776\"><strong>Development of the Theory of Evolution<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1778\" data-end=\"2014\">After returning to England, Darwin engaged in discussions with leading scientists about his emerging theory of evolution by natural selection. In 1839, he married Emma Wedgwood and settled into family life while continuing his research.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2016\" data-end=\"2361\">Although he completed his groundbreaking work, <em data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2102\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">On the Origin of Species<\/span><\/span><\/em>, years earlier, he delayed publication due to fear of religious criticism. The book was finally published in 1859 and sold out on its first day despite controversy and public criticism. It later became one of the most influential scientific works in history.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"128e90n\" data-start=\"2368\" data-end=\"2387\"><strong>Death and Legacy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2389\" data-end=\"2585\">Charles Darwin died on 19 April 1882 at the age of 73.

In 1909, more than 400 scientists and dignitaries from 167 countries met in\u00a0Cambridge to honor Darwin&#8217;s contributions and to discuss the recent discoveries and theories. This was a widely reported event of public interest. On 12 February in the same year, Darwin&#8217;s hundredth birth anniversary was\u00a0celebrated by the\u00a0New York Academy of Sciences\u00a0at the\u00a0American Museum of Natural History. Scientists and academics sometimes celebrated 12 February with &#8220;Phylum Feast&#8221; events.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States,\u00a0Salem State College in Massachusetts has held a &#8220;Darwin Festival&#8221;\u00a0<sup id=\"cite_ref-9\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup>annually since 1980,<sup id=\"cite_ref-10\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> and in 2005, registered &#8220;Darwin Festival&#8221; as a service mark with the US Patent and Trademark Office. By late 1993, the Humanist Community<sup id=\"cite_ref-12\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup>\u00a0of\u00a0Palo Alto, California, was motivated by Dr. Robert Stephens to begin planning for an annual Darwin Day celebration. \u00a0Its first public Darwin Day event was a lecture by Dr.\u00a0Donald Johanson. The Humanist Community still continues its annual celebration.<\/p>\n<p>In 1997, Professor Massimo Pigliucci\u00a0initiated an annual Darwin Day event at the\u00a0University of Tennessee which included public lectures and activities. On 9 February 2011,\u00a0California Representative\u00a0Pete Stark introduced H.
