Accomplishments
Charles Darwin accomplished many things throughout his life. Here are five of his main achievements:1. Darwin provided scientific evidence that all species of life have evolved over time from one or a few common ancestors via natural selection.
2. Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" established evolution by common descent as the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature.
3. Darwin examined human evolution and sexual selection in his books entitled "The Descent of Man" and "Selection in Relation to Sex".
4. On Darwin's 5 year Beagle survey, he noted a rich variety of geological features, fossils and living organisms, and methodically collected an enormous number of specimens, many of them new to science.
5. Darwin's studies as a geologist solved the puzzle of the formation of coral atolls.
Charles Darwin died in 1882, 19 years before they started handing out Nobel Prizes in 1901. He most likely would have won one though for his work in his evolution theory.
