    Some key takeaways are that Charles Darwin was born in 1809 in England and came from a wealthy family that valued education. He graduated from university with a degree in theology and later married his cousin Emma. Around 1830 he began developing his theories of evolution and natural selection. In 1859 he published On the Origin of Species, which introduced the theory that species evolved over generations through the process of natural selection. Darwin died in 1882 at the age of 73 and his last words were 'I am not the least afraid to die.'

    Darwin grew up in a relatively wealthy family in England. He became a boarder at Shrewsbury Grammar School after his mother died when he was 8 years old. He then graduated from the University of Cambridge with degrees in theology, mathematics, and classics.

    Darwin's seminal work on evolution was titled On the Origin of Species. It was published in 1859 and introduced his scientific theory that species evolved over time through natural selection.
