Journal- Darwin and the Origin of Species

Charles Darwin was born in February,12 1809 was an Enlgish naturalist that postulated all the living species and its evolutionary line, called the natural selection. He came across this idea because he went in a voyage across the world and he saw the different species that he saw were adapted perfectly to its environment, so he thought that nature must select the stronger and kill the weak in order to mantain balance. This theory states that an animal will adapt to its surroundings or if not it will die, and the one that survives will evolve to make changes in its body to help himself to survive.
                                               
Darwin's theory of evolution in Men
Darwin had problems with publishing his ideas because of many things. First her wife was a devote christian and she disapproved it, second the church did not like this ideas so he was in trouble with them and was considered an anti/christian and in those times religion was put first and then science so his theory was not really famous.. He also was suffering in the family because one of her children, a girl, passed away and he was seeing her in his mind, so he got kind of crazy.

This was darwing as a young man

Darwin felt somehow anguished of the publication of this book, but because he was afraid of disaprvall and most of all, he thought that if it was published people would start to not belive in god so he would be in lot of trouble. Anaways, decades after it was published he is recognized nowadays a true scientist.
