Charles Darwin was born on the 12th February 1809 in Shrewsbury England.
his school was only for boys and found some subjects hard like Latin and Greek but he always loved science and was curious which led to him having questions all the time. He loved science so much, when he was 13 he set up a science lab in his shed.  When he was 16 years old, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to train to become a doctor, just like his father, grandfather, and brother, who also were all doctors. even though his father wanted him to be a doctor, he didn't enjoy looking at blood so he was sent to Cambridge to become a vicar. Even though he passed his exams, still he didn't like that job, he wanted to study plants and animals and mostly nature.  John Henslow, a teacher from his school, sent him a letter saying that Robert FitzRoy, the captain of the ship HMS Beagle, was looking for someone to be the ship’s naturalist. they would need to collect new plants, rocks and study animals on their trip. Darwin wanted this job more than anything and so he persuaded his father to let him go on the trip.

Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury 1809.He died on 19 April 1882.His dad (who was a doctor along with his grandfather
and brother). It was originally meant to take 2 years but the H.M.S beagle was 3 years behind schedule. Charles was desperate to touch grounds on the Galapagos island to see all kinds of unfamiliar nature. He kept a journal about all kinds of birds, trees, plants and even primates. Although Charles was a doctor he despised blood. Being a naturalist he didn't have to deal with much blood. He went to a boys school next to Wales. He didn't like much subjects but he loved science. When he was older he made his shed into a science lab. His dad tried to make him to be a doctor. His dad also made him a vicar even though he got bored. One day he got invited to join captain Fitzroy on the colossal ship H.M.S beagle. He always loved nature.

Charles was born on the 12th of February 1809 in Shrewsbury which was 200 years ago.

When Charles was 9 he went to an all boys school but he didn't enjoy school very much and didn't listen most of the time but he really enjoyed collecting the nature around him. When he turned 16, he was sent to Edinburgh by hi so he could become a doctor like his father, grandfather and brother but he wasn't interested in it since he didn't like the sight of blood. His dad thought he would enjoy being a Vicar so he was sent to Cambridge but he didn't like that either.
But one thing he did enjoy was learning all about different animals and nature.
Captain Fitzroy offered him a place on the HMS Beagle as they needed someone who knew a lot about nature. It held 75 people and was on the boat searching the world for nearly 5 years. The beagle set sail in 1831.

I found out that Charles Darwin was a world explorer and he discovered many places including the Galápagos Islands. His boat had a name called the beagle the HMS Beagle in fact HMS stands for his or her majesties ship. Charles Darwin‘s captain‘s name was Fitzroy Charles Darwin departed from Plymouth England on the 27th of December 1831. Charles Darwin was hoping for lots of animals to discover food water and a place to live. I think that Charles Darwin had some worries such as the boat sinks we don’t find food or we all starve.

When he died he was buried at Westminster Abbey.
Charles Darwin wrote a book called the origin of species but was scared to publish it until 1 day Alfred Wallace thought of evolution so he was forced to publish it since he wanted to be the first one to find out about evolution.
He also like to eat exotic animals but not owls he always had a gathering of people to party and eat exotic animals. He was then offered a place on the HMS Beagle by Captain Robert Fitzroy and he also had a helper called Syms.
