Features: This book is a biographical story, vividly and concisely recording the life of Charles Darwin, the British scientist who founded the theory of biological evolution. In his youth, Darwin was a child who loved nature. He collected various insects and conducted various chemical experiments in the tool shed, although he was constantly scolded by his teachers and father. However, he eventually convinced his father to abandon his plans for him to become a doctor and pastor, and instead become a biologist. During his global voyage aboard the HMS Beagle, Darwin conducted in-depth and meticulous studies of the flora and fauna of South America, Oceania, and Africa. Through these studies, he discovered the existence of variation, heredity, and survival struggles in living organisms. Based on these findings, he established the theory of biological evolution, uncovering the mystery of the origin of species.
