Document (Item) - Research Document, Rene de Koning, Darwin Street Named After Charles Robert Darwin (1809 - 1882), 13-08-2022
An account of the life of Charles Robert Darwin whom Darwin Street in Marysville in Victoria is named for.An account of the life of Charles Robert Darwin whom Darwin Street in Marysville in Victoria is named for. Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, widely known for his contributions to evolutionary biology. His theory that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor is now generally accepted and considered a fundamental concept in science. In a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace, he introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. Charles Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history and is buried in Westminster Abbey. charles robert darwin, darwin street, marysville, victoria -
