For me there cannot be a better way to start the year than reading about Darwin. Hourly history again does a great job in compiling the information and presenting it beautifully. Darwin's natural selection theory is undoubtedly one of the most revolutionary and profound idea ever floated. Standing at the cusp of a biological pandemic we all must agree to his observation that we humans still bear the indelible stamp our lowly origin.
Darwin's biggest achievement was in grinding out the general law of natural selection out of large collection of facts which he gathered over years of research and exploration. Darwin came along with a scientific observation which has led us to discard all supernatural phenomenon and causations. Basically the natural world did not need a creator to begin or proceed with. Since we humans are very much part of the natural world it is safe to assume that a creator is nothing but figment of imagination which can be easily driven away with little knowledge and curiosity.

INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE.
“A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.” —Charles Darwin (Kindle Locations 29-30)
I’m beginning to like this Hourly History series, not least because many are offered free through the Kindle store.
Charles Darwin: A Life From Beginning to End, by Hourly History Limited was quite interesting and informative; and offered many insightful glimpses into the man, his life, his times, and his science.
Recommendation: Especially recommended for middle school and high school students; but also great for just about any age.
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” —Charles Darwin (Kindle Locations 408-409)

(Kindle Ed., locations 408 to 410)
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” —Charles Darwin
(Kindle Ed., locations 353 to 354)
“On the ordinary view of each species having been independently created, we gain no scientific explanation,” —Charles Darwin
Still to many even today their gods are science.
The book is a very informative read:
(Kindle Ed., locations 30 to 32)
Charles Darwin was born into a world where the theory of evolution already existed. It was still in its rudimentary and simple forms, quite shadowy and ill-defined, but it was already there.
(Kindle Ed., locations 13 to 15)
...Ever since his “On the Origin of Species” was published in 1859, Darwin was believed to be the first one to discover this evolution hypothesis, though he was not. That aside, what Darwin did propose, what did become his grand original idea, was the theory of natural selection...
(Kindle Ed., locations 15 to 23)
...this from a man whose life began in a most ordinary way. Darwin wasn't even the best of students, being removed from a school in Shrewsbury, England because of his poor performance. Later, at university, which was the best university in Britain at the time, he dropped out of his medical courses because he couldn't stand working on bodies. So he turned a corner and began his studies in divinity. He was preparing for a life in the church, but this avenue, too, would prove to be another dead end. Because of a divinity course, though, Darwin's interest in natural history was peaked; this was where he would spend the remainder of his long life. Charles Darwin was a most remarkable man. He began life as a theology student, then couldn't resist an around-the-world voyage at sea, where he could be an amateur botanist and geologist. Five years later, after he stepped off that boat, he was an amateur no longer. He had seen things few people had, and his mind was filled with new ideas and ways of looking at long-held beliefs among most in society.
Somehow, it has to be an outcast from the mainstream of public education.
(Kindle Ed., locations 47 to 50)
In July of 1817, Darwin's mother died. The following year, he joined his older brother Erasmus at an Anglican day school where he was a boarder. His studies were mostly of the Classical curriculum; science was looked on as something someone of the upper class would not have any interest in. When his early school studies were concluded, Darwin became an apprentice doctor in 1825, helping his father treat the poor families where they lived.
And he had his share of hardship when he was young, which’s been found in common among the great.
Yet, he was a lucky one like Leonardo da Vinci. He could make the “change” relatively an easier way thanks to his social status backing him.
(Kindle Ed., locations 43 to 45)
Charles Darwin was born at his family's home The Mount in Shrewsbury, England. His father, Robert Darwin, was a wealthy doctor and financier, and his mother was Susannah Wedgwood. Susannah's grandfather, Josiah Wedgwood, founded the famous Wedgwood Company, famous for its jasperware and fine china. Wedgwood is still in existence today.
(Kindle Ed., locations 129 to 131)
Darwin needed to find naturalists who would help with the cataloging and collecting of his many specimens. Because his father funded whatever he wished, Darwin was able to find his way to all of the London institutions where he could find the best experts to unpack his collections.
(Kindle Ed., locations 357 to 359)
Darwin also included here the human evolution of culture, differences between the sexes and physical and cultural racial characteristics, but overall emphasizing that all humans are one species.
Against the old knowledge set by the European Christians who had to label those Black-skinned in Africa "non-Humans" in contrast to the White-skinned "Humans." That was the dichotomy they had to establish in order to justify their slave trade back then under the teachings of the Christ: All men are equal under God.
Darwin's idea was indeed revolutionary.
(Kindle Ed., locations 400 to 402)
Darwin's fame may have been tenuous during his lifetime, and he was certainly disdained by many who could not accept his agnostic views towards evolution. However, he became only one of five people outside of the royal family ever to have been buried at Westminster Abbey in the nineteenth century.
(Kindle Ed., locations 433 to 434)
Charles Darwin is everywhere. From the £10 note to awards that have been given in his name, Charles Darwin's legacy is everywhere you look. Aside from the royal family, Darwin has been on more stamps than anyone in Britain.
And these lines tell that he deserved all the privileges:
(Kindle Ed., locations 434 to 436)
Cultural popularity aside, Charles Darwin did a most remarkable thing in his day, for his time. What we consider so uncontroversial today, he was afraid to speak out loud in the 19th century.
(Kindle Ed., locations 467 to 470)
...Darwin, being a naturalist, saw no need for God to be the interventionist people believed He was. Eliminating God from science made room for scientific explanations based on strictly natural phenomena. This, in turn, gave rise to a powerful spiritual and intellectual revolution, whose effects are still with us today. Darwin helped to develop a new view of humanity...
Not that many errors have been found:
(Kindle Ed., locations 45 to 47)
At this time, Darwin read Alexander von Humboldt's “Personal Narrative” of his scientific travels in 1799-1804. This lit a spark in Darwin which would stay with him for the rest of this life.
A typo: ...rest of "his" life...
(Kindle Ed., locations 119 to 121)
...His observations in South America, particularly those of the mockingbirds on the different islands of the Galapagos, gave him the very first thoughts that would ultimately lead to “The Origin ofSpecies,” which he would publish in 1859.
Typo: A space needed between “of” and “Species” in the title.
(Kindle Ed., locations 159 to 160)
“She has earned the love and admiration of every soul near her.” —Charles Darwin on is wife Emma
Again, “...on ‘his’ wife...”
The publication work boasts its high quality, while it is easy to move through pages with lots of information condensed in a fast reading.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about this great Human Being Charles Darwin.

Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809, in Shrewsbury, England as one of six siblings to Robert Darwin, a wealthy doctor and Susannah Wedgewood, the granddaughter of Josiah Wedgewood, the founder of the famous Wedgewood Company. Like many remarkable people throughout history, Charles wasn’t a particularly gifted child. He first studies medicine but disliked dissecting corpses and after two years started general studies with the thought of an Anglican pastor.
Early in life, he developed a fascination with natural history. This expanded to the fields of botany, geology, and many other scientific fields. The propitious chance to accompany the crew of the HMS Beagle on a two-year voyage around South America (it eventually lasted for five years), changed his thinking and life forever.
The theories of Natural Selection, Origin of Species, and Evolution horrified some, fascinated others, and eventually effected all. But the real gift of Darwin is not what he theorized, thought or concluded. The real contribution is how he thought.
Darwin was a free thinker. He thought outside of the proverbial box. In fact, he removed the box entirely, where anything and everything could be questioned. There were no longer taboos and forbidden subject protected by ecclesiastical law. Man (and woman) was allowed to consider and contemplate everything; whether it is social, religious, economic, or scientific. This revolutionary approach was started in a time in world history like no other. The industrial revolution was well established and picking up steam. The world was shrinking and the populations were growing.
This book provides a mere glimpse into the life of a great man. It serves nicely as food for thought and a nudge to perhaps learn more. In Charles Darwin’s own words, “A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.” The hour you spend reading this book is time well spent and worth the effort.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but
the one most responsive to change.”
—Charles Darwin
Everytime, when we debate about the existence of God or a creator, we often see the mention of theory of Natural Selection by Charles Darwin. And even after so many years, this theory is very scientific and supported by many numerous fields like Paleontology, Geology etc.
This book not only talks about the theory but also about his life, his curiosity, about his family and overall view of his life. 10/10 plus it's concise.

Reading biographical accounts always helps you understand a person and how they traveled the path that they did. That being said, know that this is written with a very sympathetic look at the theory that this man made famous.

Charles Darwin had the wherewithal to indulge in the research that turned the world on its head, challenging the basic tenets of human evolution. The book presents the evolution of the life of a man who re-wrote the theory of evolution, the theory of natural selection. It also reveals that Darwin did not coin the phrase "survival of the fittest" which is normally associated with him.

Charles Darwin: A man for his time
This book is full of information, some well-known and some new. First, I didn't know that Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were both born on February 12th, 1809. Another thing I didn't know is that the theory of evolution was already known before Darwin put forth his theory of natural selection. I was always taught that he was the first to express the theory of evolution, and that natural selection was his way of explaining it. This is the main reason I look forward to these hourly History books. Most of the time, I learn something new from each book I read. This keeps my study of history fresh and informative. Thanks again for a great book!

Charles Darwin, is a well-known British naturalist who challenged the very idea of creationism by proposing the theory of evolution, which is debated by creationists till date. This is a short biography of his by Hourly History.
Charles Darwin was born at the time when the Industrial Revolution was reaching its peak. He initially studied medicine but very quickly dropped out and started learning taxidermy and about animals which is where his fascination for nature began. The book then goes on to describe his voyages around South America in his ship Beagle and his observations thereon in his book On the Origin of Species and The Voyage of the Beagle.
The book covered a good amount of Darwin’s work and also his personal life. It focused on both, Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and the Theory of Natural Selection and the subsequent discussions and debates between various naturalists then. However, Darwin was different to Galileo in the sense that despite opposing a popularly held belief of a religious body, he was well recognised by his country and was well respected in his field. This fact was brought out well wherein, many do have the notion that Darwin too might have had a difficult time considering his theory but that certainly wasn’t the case.
This is a good book giving an insight into both Darwin the person and also his works and if a person needs a quick reference, this could be a good refresher. On that note, I would award the book an four on five.

As a Christian, I had always grew up with the idea that according to this guy, we are just the offspring of apes. However, after reading this book, I am now shown a slightly different view. He actually formed credible views that in my opinion are true and relevant today. In short, I have broken the stereotypes that I held toward the man and I hope to discover more and more of his works and views as well. Funny though, the same person had previously studied to be a cleric and I doubt very much that his views are very much divorced from the Bible.

Good overview on someone I really should learn more about. I wasn't expecting his thoughts on marriage to be the most insightful aspect.
"On one piece of paper, he put two headings: 'Marry' and 'not Marry'. On the advantages side were words such as 'constant companion and a friend in old age . . . better than a dog anyhow'. Disadvantages included 'less money for books' and 'terrible loss of time'."

Life of Charles Darwin
Don’t we all wish we had a father willing to pay our way while we experiment around the world and form theories based on our findings! I was surprised that much of what we attribute to Darwin came from others. An interesting biography nonetheless. This book needs editing for so many grammatical and typographical errors.

Another well explained short ebook by hourly history.
It was great to read about Charles darwin who actually did not coin the term survival of the fittest. His theory od natural selection was the most popular one. It relates to the mutation of genes and adaptation to the changing environment. Cheers 👍

Having just watched a TV special referencing “Charles Darwin and his travels on the HMS Beagle”,I decided to read this Hourly History.
Though we touch on Darwinism in either high school or in our college studies, it’s always interesting to get to look a little more deeply into one so infamous as Darwin.
I do enjoy reading these Hourly Histories. And, I
Especially enjoyed what I found herein.

All this huh
In short, I don't know of a "limited" God so I think its weird so-called Christians think *Anything is beyond this God in the Bible except for what's actually written in there... Well, yes. Darwin's pic on the cover of this book is weird but not because of his beard.. 4th greatest Brit? Wow. After Diana?

Does what it says on the tin. This was a quick and concise biography of Darwin's life and works. Very enjoyable.
And even if you don't agree with everything Darwin has ever said, I think we bookish people can relate to his views on marriage! 😹

I knew that Darwin wrote "On The Origin Of Species" and that it dealt with evolution and natural selection, but I didn't know anything else about him. The book was very informative about his life and of his many other accomplishments. A lot of info is packed into a short biography.

Time well spent.
Noticed a rarity in these writings, Darwin was not a victim. He had a good family upbringing and was a good father and husband.
His education and theories are documented here.

Great Overview
Excellent book, it had given me an overview of Charles Darwin life. Great to know about his life and evolution theory.

Interesting book:
I learned a lot more about who Darwin was. I would love to see a book written about the Origins of the Species.

Darwin agree or disagree
A well written account of one of the most influential man of the modern era . it is valuable to have knowledge of this mans life and accomplishments.

Of interest to someone who likes autobiographies, studying history or botanical science. Foreword by his son and the main body of the book by Darwin himself.

Interesting. Didn't know he was so loved, despite his theories.
