Happiest at home with his notebooks

Happiest at home with his notebooks and his
microscope, he shunned the public eye.
Controversy made him ill. This brilliant observer
of nature kept his most original and revolutionary
idea under wraps for decades. Yet today, two
centuries after Charles Darwin's birth, nearly
everyone knows his name. What did Darwin do,
and why does he still matter so much?
Keenly observing nature in all its forms--from
fossil sloths to mockingbirds, primroses to
children--Darwin saw that we all are related.
Every living thing shares an ancestry, he
concluded, and the vast diversity of life on Earth
results from processes at work over millions of
years and still at work today. Darwin's
explanation for this great unfolding of life through
time--the theory of evolution by natural
selection--transformed our understanding of the
living world, much as the ideas of Galileo,
Newton, and Einstein revolutionized our
understanding of the physical universe.
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection
underlies all modern biology. It enables us to
decipher our genes and fight viruses, and to
understand Earth's fossil record and rich
biodiversity. Simple yet at times controversial,
misunderstood and misused for social goals, the
theory remains unchallenged as the central
concept of biology. Charles Darwin, reluctant
revolutionary, profoundly altered our view of the
natural world and our place in it.
Charles Darwin looked closely at life. The vast
and marvelous diversity of life on Earth, from
barnacles to butterflies, ostriches to orchids,
made him curious. Countless species, living and
extinct--why so many? Some were only slightly
different from one another--what could explain
that? Each organism so beautifully adapted to its
environment--how could it happen?
With persistence and passion, Darwin set out to
find answers. He conducted experiments. He
read widely and corresponded with fellow
naturalists around the world. And he studied the
evidence using simple tools, at times little more
than a microscope or a magnifying glass. Darwin
looked closely--and we saw the world in a new
way.
