达尔文(Charles_Darwin)英文简介

Darwin's work had a tremendous impact on religious thought. Many people strongly opposed the idea of evolution because it conflicted with their religious convictions. Darwin avoided talking about the theological and sociological aspects of his work, but other writers used his theories to support their own theories about society. Darwin was a reserved, thorough, hard working scholar who concerned himself with the feelings and emotions not only of his family, but friends and peers as well. It has been supposed that Darwin renounced evolution on his deathbed. Shortly after his death, temperance campaigner and evangelist Lady Elizabeth Hope claimed she visited Darwin at his deathbed, and witnessed the renunciation. Her story was printed in a Boston newspaper and subsequently spread. Lady Hope's story was refuted by Darwin's daughter Henrietta who stated, “I was present at his deathbed ... He never recanted any of his scientific views, either then or earlier.”

达尔文简介

产生背景 在文艺复兴以及思想启蒙之后,现代科学的理性 思维已经建立起来。达尔文的时代是十九世纪中 后期,正是走出蒙昧,提倡科学的前一阶段,在 思想和理性上,为达尔文创立自然选择进化论提 供了思想依据;而青年时的远游,则为他积累了 大量的实据,引发了他关于物种进化的思考并最 终形成一个完整的体系。
达尔文著作
《物种起源》(或译为《物种原始》)(全名 《物竞天择,适者生存之物种起源论》) (英文:《On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection》 或 《the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life》), 是达尔文论述生物演化的重要著作,出版于 1859年。该书大概是19世纪最具争议的著作, 其中的观点大多数为当今的科学界普遍接受。
在考察过程中,达尔文根据物种的变化, 整日?他们为什么 会千变万化?彼此之间有什么联系?这些 问题在脑海里越来越深刻,逐渐使他对神 创论和物种不变论产生了怀疑。
后来,达尔文又随船横渡太平洋,经过澳大利亚, 越过印度洋,绕过好望角,于1836年10月回到 英国。在历时五年的环球考察中,达尔文积累了 大量的资料。回国之后,他一面整理这些资料, 一面又深入实践,同时,查阅大量书籍,为他的 生物进化理论寻找根据。1842年,他第一次写出 《物种起源》的简要提纲。1859年11月达尔文 经过20多年研究而写成的科学巨著《物种起源》 终于出版了。在这部书里,达尔文旗帜鲜明地提 出了“进化论”的思想,说明物种是在不断的变 化之中,是由低级到高级、由简单到复杂的演变 过程。

Des îles du Cap-Vert jusqu’aux Açores, en passant par les cô tes sud-amé ricaines, Tahiti, l’Australie et le Cap, la croisière se prolonge jusqu’en octobre 1836. Darwin amasse une somme considé rable d’observations en géologie et en biologie. Il s’intéresse aux diverses formations gé ologiques des îles et des continents et recense une grande variété d’espèces fossiles et vivantes.


A son retour, Darwin poursuit ses recherches ; un hé ritage familial le mettant à l’abri du besoin. Il compare alors ses donné es avec les thé ories qui circulent. Il a observé les variations des espè ces animales, et se convainc que ces dernières peuvent se transformer, à partir des espè ces les plus simples aux plus complexes. L’idée n’était pas nouvelle car déjà Lamarck l’avait formulée (1744-1829). De plus, son explication du « comment» se produit cette transformation s’inspire largement de la thé orie de Malthus (17661834).

介绍达尔文英语作文有翻译Darwin's Theory of Evolution, proposed by Charles Darwin in the 19th century, revolutionized our understanding of the natural world and our place in it. This theory, which forms the foundation of modern biology, suggests that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inheritedvariations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce.At the core of Darwin's theory is the concept of natural selection. This process occurs when organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to the accumulation of advantageous traits within a population, ultimately resulting in the adaptation of organisms to their environment.One of the key pieces of evidence supporting Darwin's theory is the fossil record. Fossils provide a glimpse intothe history of life on Earth, showing how organisms have changed over millions of years. For example, the fossil record clearly demonstrates the evolution of whales from land-dwelling ancestors to the marine mammals we see today.Another line of evidence comes from comparative anatomy. By comparing the anatomical structures of different species, scientists can uncover similarities that suggest a common ancestry. For instance, the similarity in the skeletal structures of humans, bats, and whales indicates that they share a common ancestor, despite their vastly different lifestyles.Furthermore, molecular biology has provided compelling evidence for evolution. DNA analysis allows scientists to compare the genetic code of different organisms, revealing similarities that reflect their evolutionary relationships. This molecular evidence not only supports the idea of common ancestry but also helps scientists trace the evolutionary history of specific traits.While Darwin's theory has faced criticism andrefinement over the years, it remains the cornerstone of modern biology. Its implications extend far beyond the realm of science, influencing our understanding of ourselves and our place in the natural world. By recognizing the interconnectedness of all living things and the processes that have shaped life on Earth, we gain a deeper appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the natural world.达尔文的进化论由19世纪的查尔斯·达尔文提出,彻底改变了我们对自然界及其地位的理解。

达尔文英文简介查尔斯·罗伯特·达尔文,英国生物学家,进化论的奠基人,摧毁了各种唯心的神造论以及物种不变论,下面是店铺给大家整理的达尔文英文简介,供大家参阅!查尔斯·罗伯特·达尔文简介Charles Robert Darwin, February 12, 1809 - April 19, 1882), British biologist, founder of evolution. Has been riding the Berger ship for 5 years of global voyage, animal and plant and geological structure, such as a large number of observation and collection. Published the "origin of species", put forward the theory of biological evolution, which destroyed a variety of idealistic gods and species invariance theory. In addition to biology, his theory of anthropology, psychology, philosophy development can not be ignored. Engels ranked "evolutionism" as one of the three discoveries of the natural sciences of the 19th century (the other two are the theories of cytology, conservation of energy) and have an outstanding contribution to mankind.On April 19, 1882, Darwin died at the village of Dawen at 73 years old and was buried in Westminster Abbey.查尔斯·罗伯特·达尔文成就Darwin himself said, "The main fun and the only thing I have in my life is my scientific work, and some of the most important scientific achievements that have been studied directly in the trip." For example, the famous " Study diary "and" Berger geology "," Berger's zoology "and so on. In his writings, the significance of "the origin of species", which is of particular historical significance, shows the progressive development of Darwin's theory of evolution and the theory of natural selection. The publication of the "origin of species" is a world event,because the publication of the "origin of species" marks the deepest view of the vast majority of learned people in the nineteenth century about the position of the biology and human beings in the biological world The change. The publication of the "origin of species" has led to the violent attacks on the Darwinian doctrines of the scientists and the telepathic scientists (who are the overwhelming majority), and have also led to the corresponding struggle to maintain Darwinism and actively participate in this There was a progressive naturalist in addition to the Darwinese, who had been a strong supporter of Darwinism everywhere.查尔斯·罗伯特·达尔文创立进化论After graduating from Cambridge University in 1831, his teacher Henslow recommended him as a "naturalist" identity to participate in the same year on December 27 British Navy "beagle" ship around the world scientific expedition sailing. First in the South America on the east coast of Brazil, Argentina and other places and the west coast and adjacent islands on the inspection, and then across the Pacific Ocean to Oceania, and then across the Indian Ocean to South Africa, and then around the Cape Atlantic by the Atlantic back to Brazil, and finally in October 1836 Day back to England. When he traveled around the world with the Beagle, he carried a few birds, and in order to feed the birds, he planted a grass called grass. The cabin was dark and only the windows were transmitted into the sun, and Darwin noticed that the grass seedlings were bent and grown in the direction of the window. But in the last few decades, Darwin was busy creating the theory of evolution until his later years before proceeding with a series of experimental studies on the issue of light, which was summed up in the book "Plant Movement"published in 1880. Darwin is using the seeds of grass to do these experiments. When the seeds of the grass germinate, the germs are covered with a layer of coleoptile, and the germs are first ground and the germs are protected from damage when they are unearthed. Darwin found that the coleoptile was the key to light. If the seeds are planted in the dark, their coleoptiles will grow vertically upwards. If the sun shines from one side of the seedlings, the sheath is bent in the direction of the sun. If the tip of the sheath is cut off, or covered with opaque things, although the light can also shoot the sheath, the sheath is no longer bending to the light. If the coleoptile is covered with transparent things, the coleoptile is bent toward the light, and even if the sheath is buried with opaque black sand, leaving only the tip, the buried sheath is still bent toward the light. Darwin speculates that a signal substance is secreted at the tip of the coleoptile and is transported down to the curved part, which causes the sheath to bend the sheath.The sailing changed the life of Darwin. After returning to England, he has been busy studying, determined to become a serious scientist to promote evolution. In 1838, he accidentally read T. Malthus's "theory of population", inspired by it, more certain that he is developing a very important idea: the world is not created within a week, the earth is older than the "Bible" Most of the animals and plants are changed, and still continue to change among the human, may be changed from a primitive animal, that is, Adam and Eve story is simply myth. Darwin realized that the survival struggle in the meaning of biological life, and realized that natural conditions is necessary for biological evolution of the "choice", the specific natural conditions are different, the choice is different, the choice of theresults are not the same.However, he was extremely cautious about the results of his research. In 1842, he began to write an outline, after which it extended to several articles. In 1858, Darwin decided to submit the Wallace article and his own part of the manuscript to the professional committee, in the light of the creative epiphany of the young naturalist R. Wallace. In 1859, "the origin of species,"a book came out, the first edition of 1250 that day sold out. After Darwin spent twenty years collecting information to enrich his species through the natural selection of the theory of evolution, and elaborate its consequences and significance.As a non-fist but creative man, Darwin avoided the controversy over his theory. Darwin wrote several books for scientists and psychologists when religious fanatical attack evolution was contrary to the creation of the Bible. The book "The Origin and Sex of Mankind" reports evidence of the evolution of mankind from the lower form of life, the evidence of the similarity of animal and human mental processes, and the evidence of natural selection in the evolutionary process.On April 19, 1882, the great scientist died of illness, and his body was buried at the tomb of Newton to express his admiration for the scientist.。

Darwin's theory of evolutionary selection holds that variation within species occurs randomly and that the survival or extinction of each organism is determined by that organism's ability to adapt to its environment. “I have called this principle, by which each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term Natural Selection.”
It has been supposed that Darwin renounced evolution on his deathbed. Shortly after his death, temperance campaigner and evangelist Lady Elizabeth Hope claimed she visited Darwin at his deathbed, and witnessed the renunciation. Her story was printed in a Boston newspaper and subsequently spread. Lady Hope's story was refuted by Darwin's daughter Henrietta who stated, “I was present at his deathbed ...

达尔文英文介绍Father of Modern Biology: Charles DarwinCharles(查尔斯)Darwin's whole life was changed by one lucky chance. In 1831, before he went on the voyage of the Beagle贝格尔号的航程, he was a very ordinary young man of twenty-two. No one in England—certainly not Darwin himself —had any idea of the future he had before him.His sister Caroline gave him his first lessons. He was both lazy and naughty(nouty顽皮的), and everyone was glad that he went away to school after his mother's death when he was eight.Charles soon became a keen collector. He collected anything that caught his interest: insects(昆虫类), seashells(贝壳), coins and interesting stones. He said later that his collection prepared him for his work as a naturalist.He was not a very clever boy, but Charles was good at doing the things that interested him. He also took pleasure in carrying out experiments. But he could not learn Latin and Greek which in those days was an important part of education. He was a disappointment to his father, who was sure that he would bring nothing but shame to himself and his family.In 1825, when Charles was sixteen, his father sent him to Edinburgh(爱丁堡re)to study medicine, saying :“As you like natural history so much, perhaps we can make a doctor of you.”But Charles found the lectures boring, and the dissections(剥离) frightening. But at Edinburgh ,he was able to go to natural history lectures. In 1826 he read a paper on sea-worms海船蛀虫to the Natural History Society. This paper was his first known work on this subject.Then his father decided to send Charles to CambridgeUnivers ity to study to become a priest.(牧师) With hard work, he did quite well. And, in the countryside around Cambridge, he was able to shoot, fish and collect insects.He seemed likely to become a country priest like hundreds of others, sharing his time betwee n his work and his interest in natural history and country life. He had a deep faith in God and a lasting interest in religion. At this time he did not doubt that every word of the Bible (圣经)was true.Then a letter from Captain Robert Fitzroy菲茨罗伊changed his life. Fitzroy was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship called the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended. That voyage was the start of Charles Darwin's great life work.In those days a great many people believed that every word written in the Bible was true. Darwin hoped that the plants and animals that they found in the course of their voyage would prove the truth of the Bible story of the great Flood.He began to observe everything. When they got to Rio de Janeiro里约热内卢in South America, Charles was overcome with joy to see so many different creatures, so much life and color. His notebooks were full of detailed observations(观察值).Then they reached dry land at Punta Alta. There Darwin discovered his first fossils(fosoo化石). Why, he wondered, were there horse bones at Punta Alta, when there had been no horses in the New World until Cortez科尔特斯brought his from Spain(西班牙sban)They came to Tierra del Fuego火地岛at the tip of South America. It was a strange place, with terrible storms. Its people grew no food, and they slept on the wet ground. Darwin observed their looks and habits.“How can people be so d ifferent, if all are descended(从一个祖先传下来的) from Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden伊甸园?” Charles w ondered.A trip into the mountains showed Darwin seashells at a height of 12,000 feet. Lower down were fossil trees.“So those trees once stood by the sea,” thought Darwin. “The sea came up and covered them. Then the sea-bed rose up...” To a man who had been taught that every word in the Bible was true, this was very puzzling(费解的).In Chile(智利, where Darwin saw earthquakes and volcanoes 火山wo ka no), he began to see what must have happened. The centre of the earth, he decided, was very hot. The surface of the earth was thinner稀释剂in some places. It was in these places that earthquakes and volcanoes developed.As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He saw volcanic islands in the sea, and wondered how living things had got there.But people who believed every word of the Bible thought that God had made all creatures and Man. But, if that was true, why did some of the fossils look like “mistakes” which had failed to change and, for that reason, died out?On went Beagle, to Tahiti塔西提岛, New Zealand and Australia. There, Darwin saw coral 珊瑚(callroll)and coral islands for the first time. How had these islands come about? Soon, he had the answer. Coral was made up of the bodies of millions of tiny creatures, piled (paie )up堆积over millions of years —a million years for each island. Darwin wrote it all down in his notebooks.After five years he was home. He was never again the healthy young man who climbed mountains and carried heavy bags offossils for miles.He set to work, getting his collection in order. And, in 1839, he married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood. It was a happy marriage with ten children. He could be found working in his study, with a child beside him.His first great work The Zoology动物学of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origins of life. He was certainly very worried about disagreeing with the accepted views of the Church.Happily, the naturalists at Cambridge persuaded说服(pesiwayde) Darwin that he must make his ideas public. So Darwin and Wallace华莱士, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. A year later,Darwin's great book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection appeared. It attracted a storm.People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right and that the story of Adam and Eve was merely a story, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work.Many years later, he published his other great work, The Descent下降of Man. He gave a lecture at the Royal Institution习俗, when the whole audience stood up and clapped.His health grew worse, but still he worked. “When I have to give up observation, I shall die,” he said. He was still working on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later.。

关于达尔文的简单英语作文Title: Charles Darwin: The Father of Evolution。

Charles Darwin, a renowned English naturalist, biologist, and geologist, is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of science. His groundbreaking work on the theory of evolution revolutionized our understanding of the natural world and continues to shape scientific inquiry to this day.Born on February 12, 1809, in Shrewsbury, England, Darwin displayed an early interest in nature and the sciences. He attended the University of Edinburgh to study medicine but soon realized his passion lay in natural history. Later, he transferred to the University of Cambridge to study theology and natural sciences.Darwin's most famous voyage aboard the HMS Beagle began in 1831 when he was just 22 years old. The voyage lasted almost five years and took him to various regions aroundthe world, including South America, the Galápagos Islands, Australia, and Africa. It was during this expedition that Darwin collected specimens and made observations that would later form the basis of his theory of evolution.One of the key insights Darwin gained during his voyage was the concept of natural selection. He observed how different species adapted to their environments and how those with advantageous traits were more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits on to future generations. This process, which he termed "natural selection," became the central mechanism of his theory of evolution.Upon his return to England in 1836, Darwin began meticulously studying his collected specimens andformulating his ideas on evolution. He published his groundbreaking work, "On the Origin of Species," in 1859, presenting evidence for evolution through natural selection. The book sparked widespread controversy and debate but eventually gained acceptance as one of the most important scientific works in history.Darwin's theory of evolution had profound implications for biology, ecology, and anthropology. It provided a unifying framework to explain the diversity of life on Earth and the interconnectedness of all living organisms. Moreover, it challenged prevailing religious and philosophical views about the origins of life, sparking intense debate between proponents of science and advocates of religious creationism.Despite facing criticism and skepticism from some quarters, Darwin continued to refine his ideas and conduct further research. He published several other works, including "The Descent of Man" and "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals," which explored the evolutionary origins of human behavior and emotions.Darwin's legacy extends far beyond his scientific contributions. He paved the way for future generations of scientists to explore the natural world through empirical observation and evidence-based reasoning. His emphasis on the interconnectedness of all life forms and the importanceof adaptation and diversity has influenced fields ranging from ecology and genetics to psychology and sociology.In recognition of his contributions to science, Darwin was elected a fellow of the Royal Society and received numerous honors and awards during his lifetime. Today, his theories continue to be taught in classrooms around the world, inspiring new generations of scientists to explore the wonders of the natural world and unravel its mysteries.In conclusion, Charles Darwin's profound insights into evolution through natural selection have forever changed our understanding of life on Earth. His legacy as thefather of modern biology endures, reminding us of the power of curiosity, observation, and rational inquiry in unraveling the mysteries of the universe.。

The Voyage of The Beagle
• • Darwin approaching Charles Island, Galapagos (above). Various shell shapes of tortoises on various Galapagos Islands lead Darwin to natural selection theory (amongst other evidence). Prints by Simon Gurr
• Already famous for his trip and his book on it, Darwin continued his search for a how of evolution and came upon Malthus’ book, On Population:
• In October 1838…I happened to read for amusement Malthus on Population, and being well prepared to appreciate the struggle for existence which everywhere goes on from longcontinued observation of the habits of animals and plants, it at once struck me that under these circumstances favourable variations would tend to be preserved, and unfavourable ones to be destroyed. The result of this would be the formation of new species. Here, then, I had at last got a theory by which to work... (Darwin, Autobiography)

Darwin’s Impact
Philosophy
• Man is the consequence of a series of improbable events • Emancipation of science from philosophy – Changed our perceptions with an argument entirely outside the framework of classical philosophy.
On the Origin of Species
Religious Atmosphere
• Never once uses the word “evolution,” instead refers to his theory as “descent with modification.” • Proclaimed himself “the Devil’s Chaplain.” • Publishing the theory felt “like confessing a murder.”
Discoveries
• Galápagos: collected birds, noted that mockingbirds differed depending on which island they came from. – Transmutation: creatures new to islands become altered in some way to form new species.
HMS Beagle
• • Took five years, two-thirds of which Darwin spent on land. Collected an enormous number of specimens, many of them new to science.

Darwin’s Impact
Religion
• We may now dismiss this most powerful reason for believing in God. – Richard Dawkins: “I could not imagine being an atheist before 1859, when Darwin’s Origin of Species was published. . . Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist”
Evolutionary Theory
1. Evolution did occur.
2. Evolutionary change is gradual, requiring thousands to millions of years. 3. The primary mechanism for evolution is natural selection. – The survival or extinction of each organism is determined by that organism's ability to adapt to its environment. 4. Evolution by common descent is the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature.
On the Origin of Species
Public’s Reaction
• Darwin’s Origin of Species released November 22, 1859 – Appealed to public interest, but expert biologists continued to uphold the dogma of creation and the constancy of species
Charles Darwin
February 12, 1809 – April 19, 1882
by Katharine E. Hamilton
Education
Discovering His Passion
• Studied medicine at Edinburgh, theology at Cambridge • Interest in natural history • Taught by a freed black slave who told him exciting tales of the South American Rainforest
Darwin’s Impact
Society
• Revelations about Race • Eugenics • Social Darwinism
Other Contributions to Science
Study of Flowers
• Explored how the beauty of flowers serves to control insect pollination and ensures cross fertilization.
Other Contributions to Science
The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex
• Published in 1871. • Introduces concept of sexual selection to explain: – Evolution of human culture – Differences between human sexes – Differentiation of human races – Beautiful (and seemingly non-adaptive) plumage of birds
