Charles Darwin commemorative plaque

Caption: Charles Darwin. Blue plaque commemorating the British naturalist Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882). Darwin is most famous for his theories on evolution discussed in On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, which he published in 1859. In this book Darwin proposed that natural variation within a species creates many individual traits, some more useful than others. He suggested that only those individuals with the most competitive traits (those that are best suited to their environment) survive to reproduce. Photographed at the Darwin Building, University College London, UK. This building is built on the site where Darwin lived between 1838 and 1842.
