Charles Darwin

Charles Robert Darwin, (/ˈdɑːrwɪn/; 12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist and geologist, best known for his contributions to evolutionary theory. He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors, and in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding.

Darwin published his theory of evolution with compelling evidence in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, overcoming scientific rejection of earlier concepts of transmutation of species. By the 1870s, the scientific community and much of the general public had accepted evolution as a fact. However, many favoured competing explanations and it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensus developed in which natural selection was the basic mechanism of evolution. In modified form, Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, explaining the diversity of life.

Darwin's early interest in nature led him to neglect his medical education at the University of Edinburgh; instead, he helped to investigate marine invertebrates. Studies at the University of Cambridge (Christ's College) encouraged his passion for natural science. His five-year voyage on HMS Beagle established him as an eminent geologist whose observations and theories supported Charles Lyell's uniformitarian ideas, and publication of his journal of the voyage made him famous as a popular author.

Puzzled by the geographical distribution of wildlife and fossils he collected on the voyage, Darwin began detailed investigations and in 1838 conceived his theory of natural selection. Although he discussed his ideas with several naturalists, he needed time for extensive research and his geological work had priority. He was writing up his theory in 1858 when Alfred Russel Wallace sent him an essay that described the same idea, prompting immediate joint publication of both of their theories. Darwin's work established evolutionary descent with modification as the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature. In 1871 he examined human evolution and sexual selection in The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, followed by The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. His research on plants was published in a series of books, and in his final book, he examined earthworms and their effect on soil.

Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history; he was honoured by burial in Westminster Abbey.

_5.0 out of 5 stars_La Rivoluzione, quella vera

Reviewed in Italy on February 17, 2021

Un libro citato praticamente ovunque. E stavolta mi sono deciso a leggerlo per partire dalle "basi".

L'ho trovato interessantissimo anche se un po' ridondante su alcuni concetti. Considerando però quanto fosse rivoluzionaria l'opera di Darwin è anche giusto che abbia voluto trattare a lungo delle sue tesi. Eccellenti sono anche tutte le sue articolate risposte alle varie obiezioni che gli vengono mosse. Sono riportati numerosi esempi di specie e varietà, il concetto di sopravvivenza del più adatto e di evoluzione in senso più ampio (come accumulo di variazioni).

La grandezza di Darwin sta proprio nell'accettare le critiche e nel riportare sempre degli esempi a supporto delle sue idee. Apre inoltre a spunti che saranno fondamentali per gli sviluppi della genetica. Capolavoro!

_5.0 out of 5 stars_Dettagliato e ben fatto

Reviewed in Italy on October 11, 2022

Utile per confezionare una tesi di laurea triennale sull’evoluzione della specie, il libro è ricco e dettagliato, talmente tanto da risultare, a volte, pesante, ma è una questione personale. Libro arrivato in perfette condizioni.
