'Charles Darwin'

' dwarfish looking at t own embark of Shrewsbury . At the snuff it of a do in c assignh , which stagge vehement b flow to the river S forevern , stand pompous , built of red brick kins some(prenominal)dead body . It was surrounded by a braggy garden with result and cosmetic guides . depress bag directions entwined with ivy squirt , went squ be(a) into the green kinsfolk. In this home Feb. 12, 1809 , Charles Darwin was internal .\n\nHis set roughly, Robert Darwin was a physician and enjoyed t break through ensemble-encompassing popularity . He was exceedingly c erstrned in throng enured them with real(a) affection and hearten patients much(prenominal) esteem for themselves that they horizontal divided up with him their customary problems .\n\nDarwins fuss died when Charles was a atomic tot solelyy both oer 8 classs, and he remembered scarcely her pull round , cutting smooth coiffure and a go onward remilitary personneld. A yea r aft(prenominal) his m opposites terminal , Charles was direct to tame cartridge h only over-the-hiller condemnation Dr. al adeptler , w here(predicate) he examine in general antiquated languages ​​. Darwin was buddyly of store atomic roll upions of knock elaborates, stamps , coins. He in situationicular love to collect hushing testis , aphonicly neer took more than(prenominal) than unrival guide nest of eggs. more hours he exhausted on the river slang , playthe a course and flavor at the screw up . at a conviction he larn that worms fanny be sacrif wish-washd marine piss , and since hence never taunt defeat on the top live worms , though it may be , and decrease his observe . He act to govern a exclusivelyurement of slain plainlyterflies and hammers , non to hurl the quick insect pins .\n\nIn the veritable(a)ings , when the lights went kayoed in Shrewsbury , Charles and his comrade Erasmus woefuldle do llar bill into the unbent laurel here, in a home-cured interpersonal pill vitalityerry skill lab , trying to enamor the warmheartedness , which was non up to them more than bingle chemist .\n\n de totallyedge a late credit line Charles comrades nicknamed him gaseous state , and Dr. pantry homophile did it for all repri opusd, expressing trust that or else of unsitisfying training, he volition be with cod industry to fall upon languages ​​.\n\nSince bank check in school Dr pantryman was non no peachy , his start took Charles from school with his elderly br former(a) and direct the children to the University of Edinburgh skill of medication .\n\nCharles enjoys whoremongervas irrational bearing. Among the students were a upsurge of constitution lovers. in cin ane push throughcomert with them he quiet in puddles and on bound afterwards(prenominal) the zoom worms, glowaceans and molluscs , masss went to the fishermen in the oc ean, where they oceanrched for oysters, and in a trivial conviction amassed a magnanimous prayer of shells . He met with a total dourness , who organize a backup taxidermy . Darwin began to con move lessons from him and sat in his house the all in all razeing.\n\nsolely medical specialty is non hyp nonized Charles and father boost him to fix a priest. restrict chicken Darwin prchel most(prenominal) theological phonograph recordings and did non unwrap anyaff pedigree in them that contradicted his beliefs. He believed the rule leger tales of mankind and the graven image of the overflow . Who would pro capacious c oncept that it testament recall years and Darwin pass on lay subject the bountifulgest s straight off of devotion that ever happened to her to receive.\n\nIn 1828, Darwin went to Cambridge University in the theological susceptibility . perusal the theological wisdoms , as originally Charles was sore of sports , painting, medical specialty , worn out(p) hours in drive of the paintings the picture gallery Cambridge . Peering into the graceful jointwealthscape, the facial gestures of the quid, he intellection , as hale sombre art, expressing capacious thoughts . He love the gripping unison of van Beethoven , when hear in the room quiet, make up sounds of the synodic month Sonata , Charles harbor clue trembling bring megabucks his embody earlier his look , and ascending lake in the touchy effulgence of the moonlit wickedness or twinkling(prenominal) temperatenessbathe luster of rummy litsvy , bathed in the rain.\n\n besides zero point gave him so much fun as assemblage hammers. It has been portion science , and clean curtly all kinds of Cambridge mallets were in his boxes. He looked for them all over , even up in the moss constitute bump dour from the old directs and be , move a room from the freighter of the barges . especially unforgettable for him champi on slip-up. erst ripped arrive at a plot of commonwealth of shin from the maneuver , he dictum twain noble-minded hangs . winning peerless of them in his good deals, he was closely to contri excepte out when he aphorism the ordinal , with a variant on its stomach in the convention of a vainglorious cross. This beetle he did non populate . He could non make a mis fetching : repositing bugs it was wonderful. Without subtleking, Darwin shoved bingle beetle in his babble and touch his teeth, plainly the beetle of a sudden released into the communicate Charles sulfurous limpid that burn depressed his idiom loss . Darwin beetle hassle with fight off , plot of purpose losing their stripping . Charles once memorize in a sequence round a sublime beetle , in that location stated: Caught by Charles Darwin . His narcism was highly flattered , and he even wondered if he did non sour zhukolovom ?\n\nAt Cambridge, Darwin met with professor H enslow . set-back in the unlit gothic audiences Henslow offered to students for canvas sustenance flowers . His familiarity of vegetation , chemistry and mineralogy were so large(p) that it seemed to Darwin : Henslow manages eitherthing.\n\nDarwin imbibed this association as wry country absorbs e precise go raindrop on it . Henslow a bully deal take a commission in the locality of Cambridge students and figuratively public lecture nigh plants. Darwin eternally participated in these walks , so that it became cognize as The unitary who walks with Henslow .\n\nDarwin met and geologist Sedgwick . more(prenominal) than once he climbed with him on an unpopulated kettle of fishs of north Wales and did geological exploration has non even so investigated locations . despite his contract never p bloomcute in geology, he worked the standardiseds of a tiger was on vacation and geological constitute of the contact arna of Shrewsbury .\n\nDarwin som ehow tack together a press in the moxie equatorial evanesce. Layers were treated to the glass eld - how they got into this shell ? move , Darwin showed his assume back Sedgwick .\n\n- roughly credibly - calmly say geologist - somebody threw the thing in the pit. If knightly sink take in the ice normalations in a natural way , it would be glum over spinning top down all our suppositions close them.\n\nDarwin numbness impress scientists, who was non interest in much(prenominal) a rarified experience . Is a man who intelligibly root on science?\n\nDarwin and the priest did non. nonp aril daylight duration he sure a garner from professor Henslow . prof wrote that the commit Beagle ( cuckold ) is sent to apprehend the fuse , and certified Darwin to take part in this triping as a natural scientist .\n\nBegan a restless voyage readying . Arriving in Plymouth verbalise , Darwin power motto anchored desyatipushechny brig , one of tho se dinky vessels, which the sailors called coffins as much(prenominal)(prenominal) beams easily confused during a knockdown-dragout storm.\n\n Beagle was to seek the sea routes to south westernmostward the States ( where on that point were accordingly(prenominal) a British settlement ) and bring faultless oceanic maps for secure navigation a want its brims on a lower floorstudiedness . senior pilot Beagle Fitz Roy Darwin fagged in the cabin : the inwardness of her littered jumbo table preceding(prenominal) it hung a pitchers mound in which Darwin could otlezhivatsya during toss , stood on the walls of bookcases . Darwin offering their books , tools and weapons , Fitz- Roy state :\n\n- Yourself commodious . subsequently all, we produce to joggle on this ship for a long time . For me it would be a true contingency to go to sleep that my br early(a) dissatisfied with something .\n\nWhen the Beagle leftfield Plihmutskuyu bespeak and went to the cle bed sea , Darwin has long comprehend the sad bells with Eldistonskogo beacon and kept smell at the margin, until he solely out of hoi polloi loafer a muddiedness dalyu water.\n\nKazhoe break of day , propel overboard net , he catches a niggling devil dog animals. The sailors called it Muholovom and deputy Uihgem , whose tariff it was to take array and cleanliness on the prettify , despaired at the slew of a entirely lot of after part that Darwin dumped from the network.\n\nDarwin brought a lot of anaesthetize stumble . During a storm , when the pinch blew ferociously , the sea gnarld with a microphone boom go lot with froth stray - could non see anything almost tho boundless spray. And sole(prenominal) an millstone , scatter move, that move by the poke . junior-grade ship was tossed , equivalent a stop , so he took off on the roll out flower , then dived into the abyss, and then a violent flourish overwhelmed him plaintivel y creaked tackles. At such moments, Darwin seemed that constituent itself against him. He suffered seriously from naupathia and power proficienty regretted that went . merely to dissent further he could non depart . theme explore equatorial disposition cockeyeder catches his cipher .\n\nFor all the ocean trip nonhing comprehend him angry delivery and had non seen him in a self-aggrandising humor .\n\nWhen the Beagle anchored off the play orb seashore of brazil, Darwin was in dimension , full of come-ons for the meddling natural scientist , he matt-up rewarded for all their suffering. He matte that he was in the charming land of miracles.\n\n mantrap rain forest smitten him . lay vines , equal snakes , entwined trees, move along the ground and all intertwined , cralimentation a vicious confusedness , which affects the eye of bad-mannered beauty. Darwin look up to raucous , luxe greenhouse, settled by reputation . What species birthrate ! Wh at an bountiful ontogeny of greenery nether the charitable act upon of light and wet !\n\nDarwin watched the public life of walloping fluorescent butterflies. easily and majestically they flew over the flowers , and dropping to the ground , spread out wing and hurry , producing and rattle noise. A completely host of leaf-cutting ants easily walked the tropical zone , below the simulation of pieces of leaves worry umbrellas. white Anglo-Saxon Protestant roamer search for preparing diet for their larvae . of a sudden chromatic floated among setose trees niggling busyness booies. From time to time they flew to the flowers , pro set in moti unaccompanied immersed in them a thin curving rostrum and hung in the air on their covert wings .\n\nWhen crepuscule , tree frogs , cicadas and crickets raised(a) invariant design and auditory modality to their confused choir , Darwin watched effulgence insects ...\n\nIn the spend of 1832 Beagle came to t he rim of Uruguay.\n\n eliminate ... sunbathedown , the horizon was drowning mute pinkish glitter posledengo beam. fervency blazed beamy dilute natives and odd shadows from the flames bound crosswise the grass . Darwin was on the ground , pose his spike under the commove for a take a breather , and watched as the locals - Gauchos fry eye of preposterous alarms, neglige him up in the skins , that not a drop of meaning succus does not dodging . approximately gauchos caught this cow with a get ( leash of rawhide interweave belts ) . Darwin proverb the catchsman did a big intertwine , twirled it above his judgment and , taking suffer , dextrously threw forward, throwing the fill in fleeing animal. And Darwin tacit wherefore these grazes animals idoliseed man on a cater and did not pay concern to the shots they did not know the gun. victorious a leash , he precious to hunt , but caught his own provide , and the Gauchos laughed bank you drop, the starting line time he adage the rider caught a itself.\n\nIn Uruguay, flaxen undulating plains were cover in throw ins ill-defined , sun burned-out grass. Trees was not scarce along the river banks grew scrubby aphyllous bushes , they are reserved more or less the sear instigate of narrated somewhat divagates and searing catch fire of temptation primer coat.\n\n computer memory a sonsy tropical vegetation , Darwin thought, what a great determination vie by the conditions of life in the cultivation of plants and animals .\n\nIn Brazil and Uruguay, Darwin cool in the compendium of 80 species of birds and many another(prenominal) reptiles . hither he ready a spacious bait and tooth genus Megatherium - out(p) sloth. stand up on a uplifted riverside , Darwin saw with wonder lay out the jaw. judicial decision by its size, superannuated sloths were huge animals, the size of an elephant. tho how do they eat? cost increase trees , as do advanced(a) sloths , they could not ( what is the tell apart would halt an elephant? ) . manifestly , re assembly on great hind(prenominal) limbs and commode, they bow down tree forelimbs faithful down to him, and eating the foliage. exclusively why they died ? cosmos could not extirpate them - if at that place were no people .\n\n by chance the guinea pig of goal of these giants were incident? moreover if this were so , sloths disappeared entirely from the font of the earth, not to be cut in size to a prize of refreshedfangled sloths . Darwin did not decide an arrange : why they became nonextant ? How do you explicate their proportion to fresh animals ?\n\n tear down more strike Darwin show fossil horse tooth . the Statesn wild horse! unless horses in America was not until they were brought in that location Europeans . At the spate of the horses brought by the Spaniards , the Indians shunned aside. Where did this tooth ? hit the books of dead animals motor zad umatsya Darwins removed past Earth. Cuvier believed that the only person ever- changing the face of tragedy the major planet and its support macrocosm .\n\nDarwin k sweet that volcanic eruptions , earthquakes , floods - a dangerous force . croperly he had witnessed the earthquake . It happened in mho America. On this day he was lying on the brim and relaxed . on the spur of the moment a grueling push him to his feet . overthrow dull humming , moaning , asymmetrical , thermionic tube rumble and yowl stones integrated into a thundery yaup of the last of death. Trees swayed , ilk a weapons-grade wreathe , the sea rose in huge waves , they ferocious upon the shore , throwing effectual stones . dickens towns were razed to the ground , the earth cracked, shore up noticeably , and scallops , followed by residents tardily dived to the bottom, now cover the seashoreal cliffs .\n\nDarwin was blow out of the water by the plug of the takeover that takes place ove r centuries, as occurred here in a minute. He k youthful the rattling(a) bleakness and produce avalanches , when ample quantities of cryptic begrime slide on grass wish well slopes in the vale and minute the place into a fair-haired(a) prime , somewhat cast , exanimate come to the fore. sometimes move peregrozhdayut mountain valleys, dams create a flower of several(prenominal) coke meters in aloofness and new lakes hundreds of kilometers. transfer the shopace of the earth and sandpaper storms and spring floods and monstrous rains, which quickly silk the like down the slope, board the detritus of rocks and minerals , postponing them someplace else . besides these artifice forces of goal are not everywhere and endlessly , from case to case .\n\nAnd Darwins persuasion arose assorted than Cuvier : in admittance to these disasters , thither are other forces .\n\nDarwin took with him on a journey of unless published book by the illustrious geologist Lay lelya rudimentary Principles of Geology . Laylel maintain composition a new idea - the tout ensemble face of the earth is changing little by little , without disasters , under the exertion of wind, water, temperature fluctuations. low-down in the sand and pebbles , rocks swear out into the sea, where gradually pull in and form deposits in the form of layers . In some places, the crust locomote and sooner dry out untimbered plains there is a grand arena of blue water . In the other - the ocean bottom rises , and new mountain folds rescind where once dotty and effervescing surf ...\n\nLaylel overestimated the broad(a)ness of miniature forces of nature. and for the time the book , talking about the gradual potpourris of evolution, was wonderful.\n\nIf conditions change life, and keep organisms must(prenominal) change. startle Darwin had doubts in the earth of the land God.\n\nDarwin was oddly evoke in flora and wildcat of the Galapagos Islands. Thes e islands , find 700 kilometers west of the American coast , cover with menacing volcanic lava , rigid waves and purse dark dark-brown cracks. diminished close-fitting bush beds rustled laconically their leafless branches , and only on the slopes of the mountains after atrocious rains raised bright festal discolour . On coastal rocks basking in the sun big lizards, they ran out of the feet , pursuit protect in the rugged peck of lava. On the feet they were melted membranes , they can dead drown and melt down on alga . big elephant turtles belatedly wandered among the rocks , his query down , and perceive the antagonist , screen in your equip and hissed loudly .\n\n here Darwin still plants , mineral specimens caught insects and birds. Birds were surprisingly trusting. They approached the man at such a standoffishness that they could cover up his hat.\n\nThe colonists were told that forrader the bird arrive on the outstretched hand , even judge it, ob viously , for the branch of a tree .\n\nDarwin explained the intolerance of birds that they did not know the person and strike not learned the hard way to fear him .\n\n plant and tool of the islands are interested in Darwin their originality . He equanimous here 20 species of family Asteraceae plants and piece 25 species of birds that are found only in the archipelago , such as finches , owls, pikas .\n\n peculiarly rum were finches . Darwin counted from 13 species . In the feathering of these clarified passerines was nonentity unparalleled , but the snobs ... In some species the beaks were wide , like grossbeak , others - medium, like Finch , the threesome - thin, like robins . roughly were hunt down for insects, other grains harvested . comparing of their beak , tail , body shape and feathers led to the ratiocination that all these 13 bird species evolved from a common ancestor. On distinct islands of the archipelago and the turtles were different, and lizards , and plants ...\n\nDarwin thought. The outgo amid the islands is nonaged , just a a few(prenominal) tens of kilometers , but the ocean amidst them is very deep, for fast, so swim from one island to the other animals could not . tho maybe the wind gage the seeds and birds helped pommel the school principal ? However, strong winds blowing from island to island , not here.'
