The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, was born on February 12, 1809. As a
boy, Charles liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He enjoyed watching nature, and
comparing what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting
very much. He collected many things, birds, eggs, stones and leaves.

of nature.
     Then he was sent to study in Cambridge University. There he studied until 1831.
     Some time later he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and wanted a scientist.
His teacher advised him to go. So when the Beagle left England in December, 1831, Darwin was on it.
     The trip lasted almost five years. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants.

understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change.
