Charles Darwin Timeline 1 of 6 from 1809 to 1829 at Timeline Help. Everybody knows about the Evolution theory of British life and earth scientist Charles Darwin (1809-1882). In short, it's on the development of forms of life through a process of natural selection. Less people know that Darwin lays the foundation for his theory and publications during his Beagle Voyage. That journey to exotic islands and other beautiful parts of the world inspires me to create these six pages. Read how his ideas were born - a life full of geological and natural observations and writings - in this Charles Darwin Timeline.
