लेखक के बारे में
Charles Robert Darwin (1809–1882) was a British naturalist, geologist, and biologist, best known for his seminal contributions to the understanding of natural selection and evolution. His work laid the foundation for the field of evolutionary biology and profoundly changed the scientific perspective on the origin and development of life. Darwin’s most celebrated publication, ‘On the Origin of Species’ (1859), provided extensive evidence for the theory of evolution by natural selection, challenging traditional views of the time. In addition to his famous theory, Darwin’s interests spanned a wide array of biological topics. His lesser-known but significant work ‘The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals’ (1872), expanded the scope of evolutionary theory to include the study of emotional life and its manifestation across species, paving the way for the future field of ethology and the understanding of animal behavior. Darwin’s detailed observations and empirically rich descriptions in this text have continued to influence psychological, sociological, and anthropological studies. His literary style is characterized by thoroughness and a cautious approach to presenting theories, often supported by copious empirical evidence and modestly acknowledging potential critiques. Darwin’s contributions to science and literature endure as foundational texts across multiple disciplines.
