2. His father, a doctor, sent Charles to Edinburgh University to study medicine. Then his father sent him to Cambridge to be trained as a parson. But Darwin wanted to be a biologist.

3. In 1831 he set sail in the Beagle for South America to make maps of the coastline there. On his voyage round the world Darwin looked carefully at living things in the sea and on land and came to very important conclusions.

4. This is what he came to believe. Once there was only simple jelly-like thing living in the sea. Very slowly, taking hundreds millions of years, these have developed to produce all the different kinds of animals and plants we know today. But Darwin waited over twenty years before he let the world know his great ideas. During that time he was carefully collecting more information. It showed how right he was that all living things had developed from simpler creatures.

5. He wrote a famous book “The Origin of Species”.
