Exploring one of the Greatest Theorists of his Time: Charles Darwin Our Society depends upon science, and yet to so many of us what scientists do is a mystery. The sciences are not just collections of facts, but are ordered by theory; which is why Einstein could say that science was a free creation of the human mind. (Bowler) Charles Darwin is one of the most famous scientists and theorists who had ever lived. Darwin has been written from his background to his evolutionary theory and on the

No other author has had more of an impact on the way we think about the world around us than Charles Darwin has. From research labs, to classrooms, Darwin’s scientific findings and literary work have greatly influenced how we see the living world. A true scientific pioneer, Darwin shocked the highly religious people of his time by sharing his findings and theories about evolution in his book On the Origin of Species. The theories in his book continue to impact the way the natural world is seen today
