Charles Darwin — Чарльз Дарвин

Darwin had not planned to be a scientist. He wanted to become a doctor. But he was interested in plants and animals.
A friend who knew about Darwin’s interest in nature invited him to take the trip. Charles was 22 when he left England for a five-year trip around the world.
This trip is a very important one in the history of science, for it led Darwin to write one of the worlds most famous books. The book is «The Origin of Species».
It gives Darwin’s ideas of how all the plants and animals of today have come from the very simple plants and animals that first lived on the Earth. Darwin was seasick for much of the voyage, but he came back with the notes for his great book.
He visited the Galapagos Islands, Australia, New Zealand. There he saw many strange plants and animals.
These were Darwin’s chief ideas: many more plants and animals are produced than can possibly live. There is no two plants and animals, even of the same kind,

which would be exactly alike.
The idea that all the plants and animals of today came from the simple plants and animals of long ago is called «The theory of evolution»

Чарльз Дарвин

Дарвин не собирался становиться ученым. Он хотел стать врачом. Но его интересовали растения и животные.
Один его друг, который знал об увлечении Дарвина природой, пригласил его в путешествие. Чарльзу было 22 года, когда он выехал из Англии в кругосветное путешествие на пять лет.
Это путешествие имеет большое значение для истории науки, потому что оно способствовало написанию одной из самых известных в мире книг. Это книга «Происхождение видов».
В ней высказывается теория Дарвина о том,

что все современные растения и животные произошли от древних растений и животных, которые когда-то населяли Землю. Значительную часть путешествия Дарвин страдал от морской болезни, но это не помешало ему собрать заметки для своей большой книги.
Он побывал на Галапагосских островах, в Австралии и Новой Зеландии. Там он увидел много необычных растений и животных.
Вот основные идеи Дарвина: растения и животные появляются на свет в гораздо большем количестве, чем могут выжить. Не существует двух абсолютно одинаковых растений или животных даже в рамках одного вида.
Теория Дарвина о происхождении всех современных растений и животных называется «Теорией эволюции».
