The Darwin-L Archives contains the collected message logs and supporting materials of Darwin-L, a discussion group for academic professionals in the historical sciences that was active from 1993 1997. Darwin-L was established to promote the reintegration of a range of fields all of which are concerned with reconstructing the past from evidence in the present, and to encourage communication among researchers in these fields. ...
- In spite of its name, Darwin-L did not focus specifically on the work of Charles Darwin, but rather covered the entire range of palaetiology from an explicitly comparative perspective, including evolutionary biology, historical linguistics, textual transmission and stemmatics, historical geology, systematics and phylogeny, archeology, paleontology, historical geography, cosmology, and historical anthropology. Although the Darwin-L discussion group itself is now closed, this archive of materials generated by the group (more than seven megabytes of text in all) continues to serve as a valuable resource for researchers around the world who are interested in the historical sciences.

- Darwin showed little interest in his early education at Shrewsbury School and in medical studies at Edinburgh University (1825-27). ... Darwin embarked on a 5-year voyage on the H. ... Darwin's duties were to study the geology and biology of these areas. ...
- Darwin's biological findings gave him a lasting place in history. The Galapagos Islands were probably the scene of Darwin's most important and best-known research. On these islands, Darwin found an array of animal life and found that related but different species lived on different islands even though all the islands were very similar in geological, climatic, and other physical conditions. ...
- Along the Pacific coast of South America, Darwin observed that closely related species often lived in adjacent geographic areas and that species found on isolated oceanic islands often resembled species found on the nearest continent. Established biological thinking held that all species were unchanging and specially created; however, Darwin found that similar species were always present in adjacent geographic areas. ...
- Darwin collected many geologic and biologic specimens, studied many fossils, and made observations of the form, numbers, diversity, and living habits of different forms of life. ...
- Darwin waited for years after his return to England (1836) to present his conclusions. ... He also wrote a brief summary of his ideas on evolution that became known to a few scientists, but for the most part Darwin turned to other work, including detailed study of barnacles. ...
- In 1856, Darwin began to write his theory of evolution by natural selection, but before he had finished (1858), he received a paper from naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace outlining a theory similar to his own. ... 24, 1859, an abstract of Darwin's theory was published, The Origin of Species. ...
- In this book, Darwin presented his idea that species evolve from more primitive species through the process of natural selection, which works in nature. ...
- Though the evidence Darwin presented was strong, some scientists aligned themselves with orthodox churchmen and others who opposed the theory. ...

- Charles Darwin as a Symbol for the .
- The Darwin Day Celebration was founded on the premise that science, like music, is an international language that speaks to all people in very similar ways. ... Moreover, evolution, introduced by Charles Darwin, has become the central organizing principle for all basic scientific research; particularly in biology but also in physics and cosmology. In addition, Darwin himself has become an internationally acclaimed figure, whose influence on progressive modern thought continues to be both profound and pervasive (Ernst Mayr, Darwin's Influence on Modern Thought, Scientific American, July 2000).
- Today the validity of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection rests in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of genetics. Therefore, we conclude that Charles Darwin is a worthy symbol on which to focus, in order to build a Global Celebration of Science and Humanity that is intended to promote a common bond between all people of the earth.

- Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was a British naturalist, who revolutionized the science of biology by his demonstration of evolution by natural selection. Darwin's On The Origin Of Species By Means Of Natural Selection, Or The Preservation Of Favoured Races In The Struggle Of Life, was published on November 24, 1859, and sold out immediately. ...
- Darwin was born in Shrewsbury on 12 February 1809. ... Despite the objections of his father, Darwin decided to leave his familiar surroundings. ...
- Darwin returned with observations he had made in Teneriffe, the Cape Verde Islands, Brazil, the Galapagos Islands, and elsewhere. ... By 1846 Darwin had published several works based on the discoveries of the voyage and he became secretary of the Geological Society (1838-41). ...
- From 1842 Darwin lived at Down House, Downe. ... In the 1840s Darwin worked on his observations of the origin of species for his own use. ...
- Darwin's great work, The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection was heavily attacked because it did not support the depiction of creation given in the book of Genesis. Darwin's argument that natural selection - the mechanism of evolution - worked automatically, leaving little or no room for divine guidance or design. ...
- At Darwin's hands evolution matured into a well-developed scientific theory, which have been a constant target of religious or pseudo-scientific attacks. However, Darwin himself did not at first explicitly apply the evolutionary theory to human beings. ...
- Huxley published in his Man's Place in Nature (1863) an application of the theory and Darwin followed him in The Descent Of Man, And Selection In Relation To Sex (1871) and Expression Of Emotions In Man And Animals (1872), which showed the similarities between animals and man in the expression of emotions and was the start of the science of ethnology.

- Darwin Museum at .
- I'm starting this little tour at Darwin's home, sitting at a park bench under a magnificent oak tree that dates back to Darwin's time here. Five years after returning from the voyage of the Beagle, Charles Darwin and his young family moved from central London to a pleasant country home about 16 miles to the southeast, near the village of Downe. ... No more voyages around the world, not even trips to the Continent, but Darwin had correspondents everywhere, and sometimes they showed up at his door. ...
- But only ten years ago, a scientific pilgrimage to Darwin's country home was remarkably difficult, unless you got directions from someone who had been here before. ... Get off the train from London at Bromley South or Orpington, and the taxi driver, upon learning your destination, would knowingly suggest that there were much finer country homes to visit than Down House - clearly not understanding that it was Charles Darwin that made Down House so important, not its gardens. ...
- Arrive, pay off your I-told-you-so taxi driver, and you'd find a low budget operation financed over the decades by the London surgeons, with only several rooms restored to what they were like in Darwin's day, back before the place had been turned into a girls boarding school in the early 20th century. ...
- Still, it was enormously inspiring to anyone who understood the intellectual triumph of Charles Darwin, this chance to see where he had thought it all through - his study with his microscope, his chair by the living room fireplace, and his "sand walk" out back, where he went for three walks a day to digest his thoughts. Often, one supposes, Darwin sloughed through the fine English rain, likely blowing in from the west after forming above the warm Gulf Stream. ...
- Yet it was Darwin himself (a point omitted from even the modernized science exhibits at Down House) who first cautioned readers about getting fixated on efficiency, and who - at the same time - offered a route for invention. ... (Darwin's example was the fish's swim bladder serving as a primitive lung. ...
- Next to Darwin's study, there's his billiard room, where cause and effect operated on a simpler, more direct, level than it does in biology. Across the hall is the large dining room with its bay windows; it was also the "justice room" where Darwin served as a magistrate on occasion. The now-rebuilt stairway to the upstairs leads you to a series of former bedrooms, filled with modern exhibits about Darwin's science. ...
