Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin is the same Darwin we wrote about at the very beginning of our site; he is an author of the scientific theory of humanity appearance. Charles Darwin claimed that humanity is developed from monkeys. According to his theory monkeys are most manlike creatures and they were the first creatures existed in the world, and with the laps of time they evaluated to homo sapience. This theory became known and accepted all around the world; children at school were learning the evolution of monkey to homo sapience and lap it all up. Different confessions were against Darwin and proclaimed him as atheist who neglects the religious values and believes. According to words of some specialists who learned the life of the scientist Darwin refused his theory himself and came to believe in God when close to death.
Still, no matter on that Darwin's theory of humanity's evolution remained predominant for a very long period of time, moreover, there are scientists and people who still concerns Darwin's theory as the only right one. If so, Darwin has a right to be called as a contributor to humanity's progress and be considered as significant personality of the humans' history. Before Darwin represented his theory it was widely believed that the humanity was created by God, and after Darwin represented his theory people divided into two almost equal groups: the followers of the religious theory and the followers of the Darwin's theory, and agree it's not that insignificant fact, to convince a good half of the world of your rightness is not that easy task.
Darwin is also an author of the natural selection theory. That is the theory that based on the idea of surviving of the strongest one. This theory was also a component of the theory of humanity's evolution. Darwin was such an accurate scientist that he doubted his theories himself, and so was looking for the weaknesses of the theory. That gave him an opportunity to prove his theory in public and give worthy and argument response to those who mentioned facts that may disprove Darwin's theory. Soon Darwin was acknowledged as a significant and skilful scientist and so was decorated with "Pour le merite" order instituted for decorating for scientific and literature merits. Till the very and of his life Darwin never left scientific researches of something new, some of those who new him close say that it was a result of his constant fear of oldness. Darwin wasn't afraid of death; he was afraid of growing old, sick and helpless. He died April 19th at the age of 74, and was buried at West Mister Abbey next to the burial vault of Newton.
