The Most Influential People In History

Charles Darwin

A lot has been said about Darwin, and in certain religious communities his theories are still considered controversial, which just goes to show that even over 100 years after his death he’s still as relevant as ever. He was a British native and is responsible for the theory of evolution, which claims that man evolved from lower life forms. Could you ever imagine discovering something so important and so revolutionary?

Darwin developed his theory after spending a lot of time observing nature and collecting many different specimens. Back then people thought he was a little bit crazy, but his courage to publish his theory paid off. Until today, many of his theories are widely accepted by most scientists.
