Work History:
He became a new fellow of the Geological Society in January 1837. He became secretary of the society by 1838. He wrote the book ‘Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the Various Countries Visited by H.M.S. Beagle’ (1839). He then employed the best experts and published their descriptions of his specimens in his ‘Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle’ (1838-1843). Darwin devised his theory of evolution around 1832. Charles Darwin then filled notebooks with jottings for two years. His theory about “natural selection” was mostly complete in 1839. He wrote a 35-page sketch of his theory in 1842, which was expanded in 1844. In 1842, he shut himself away in the Down House and focused on bees, flowers, and barnacles and on his books on coral reefs and South American geology. Charles Darwin pursued a detailed study of all known barnacles from 1846 to 1854. He started writing a book called ‘Natural Selection’ in 1856. Darwin was sworn in as a justice of the peace in 1857. In 1858, Alfred Russel Wallace sent Darwin a letter about a similar-looking theory, and Darwin accepted Lyell’s and Ho**er’s solution. They read joint extracts from Darwin’s and Wallace’s works together at the Linnean Society on July 1, 1858. Charles unfortunately missed the first public presentation of the theory of natural selection. He sold his book ‘On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life’ (1859). Then, he published yet another pook called ‘The Various Contrivances by which British and Foreign Orchids are Fertilised by Insects’ (1862). Thomas Huxley helped Darwin gain the Royal Society’s Copley Medal in 1864. He published another book called ‘Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication’ (1868). The next book he published is ‘The Effects of Cross and Self Fertilization in the Vegetable Kingdom’ (1876). A year later, he wrote ‘The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species’ (1877). These two books are about how evolution in some species favoured different male and female flowers to outbreed. In order to explain evolution of human races, morality, and civilization, Charles wrote his two-volume book ‘The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex’ (1871). Since Charles Darwin loves expressions, he wrote the book ‘The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals’ (1872). The last book he wrote is ‘The Formation of Vegetable Mould, Through the Action of Worms’ (1881).
