Charles Darwin. Caricature of the British naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-1882),proposer of the theory of evolution with natural selection as the driving force behind it. He is pictured dragging a long,hairy arm along the ground behind him,in the manner of an ape. When his theory was published,in On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection (1859),it caused a storm of controversy as it flew in the face of the widely accepted belief that species were created as they now are by a divine creator (ie God). Although most scientists now accept evolution and natural selection based on overwhelming evidence,some controversy remains surrounding the issue | |
