Based on the reading I found it interesting that Darwin considered himself a religious man. I found this interesting because Darwin created a theory that went against the Bible and against his religion. Since Darwin was religious I would thing that he would do anything he could to follow the Bible and to want everyone to believe in the Bible.

Based on my reading of the text, “ Inventors and Scientists:Charles Darwin”, what I found most interesting and surprising is that it took Charles 20 years before he could publish his theories. I found this interesting and surprising because like he took his time to collect more information and evidence to prove himself right. Also I found it really surprising that he married his own cousin. I found this surprising because he married his own relative.

I found the concept of natural selection a bit confusing and interesting because it explains how we adapt traits from our parents. The text states that scientists have obeserved the traits being passed down from species to species. This shows us how carefully studied this topic is. Also the text states that small changes occur when creatures reproduce. This shows how we were based on our genetics andwith small changes that make us unique. This proves why found the concept of natural selection a bit confusing and interesting because it explains how we adapt traits from our parents.

Based on my reading of the text “Inventors and Scientists: Charles Darwin” I found it interesting that Darwin took almost 20 years to publish his theories. I found this interesting because he was smart enough to collect more information and evidence in order to prove himself right and he didn’t want to upset people so he took his time to balance his scientific discovernment and his faith.

I found it interesting that he was able to bounce back from his mother dying when he was young. It is very hard to lose someone close to you and it is even harder when you lose your mother as a kid. Even through that he was able to bounce back and become a very famous scientist.

What I found surprising is that he waited a full 20 YEARS before publishing his thoughts. I thought he would have waited maximum 5 years but 20 seems a little to much that’s longer then we have all lived by a lot he spent that time waiting with his ideas.

I found it surprising that Charles Darwin didn’t really seem famous to many people of his time while he’s well known now. I found it surprising that Charles Darwin married his cousin (I know royalty does this a lot but was this normal for his time?). I found it confusing why Charles Darwin didn’t focus as much on his research in his later life.

Based on my reading, what I found most surprising is that Darwin died at the age of 73, this is because when you think about it 73 years old is still pretty young for someone to die in my opinion.

Based on my reading on the text, I found it interesting at first when I read that Darwin’s book caused controversy but the information ended up being correct with proof. On page 3, the text states “Darwin’s book caused huge controversy, but many scientists had accepted his ideas within a decade. Since then, new evidence has clearly supported Darwin’s theories.” This proves that Darwin’s book caused controversy even though the information was correct and was backed up by evidence by many scientists.

I found it surprising that drawin married his cousin, which is not wrong, but just a little shocking, and mind bottling.

I found it interesting that Charles Darwin married his cousin. The question in my head was why alot of times. I didn’t get why you would marry a relative, and it is weird to think that your aunt is also your mother in law.

I found this article interesting, as it was cool to go back and see why Charles Darwin thought the way he thought, and a deeper of exactly what he thought.

Based on my reading of the text “Inventors and Scientists: Charles Darwin”, I found it intriguing that Darwin had a religion at all …

What I found interesting is that why would you spend all of your life trying to sort animals and humans into groups.

I found it surprising that Charles married his own cousin. Why did they want to marry, even as relatives? It just makes me uncomfortable, not by being offensive, it’s their choice. But like bruh.

based on my reading of the text “Inventors & Scientists: Charles Darwin” what I found most interesting is that in the text it states “Darwin did not rush to publicize his” I found this interesting because he didn’t just right away say his idea and over time his theories can change.
