He moved through the quiet morning streets of London. In his hands, a wondrous collection of beetles and butterflies: fragments of distant places, and the beginning of something he couldn’t yet name…
When we think of Charles Darwin, we often imagine an older man with a bushy beard. But before all that, he was just 22 when he was hired as the naturalist on a ship called the Beagle. For five years, he sailed across oceans, collecting beetles and butterflies, filling notebooks, and quietly observing the world around him.
When he returned to England, he didn’t rush to share his ideas. Instead, he spent years thinking, testing, and slowly shaping a theory that would change how people understood life on Earth. He began writing about evolution in the late 1830s, but it wasn’t until 1859 that he finally published it in On the Origin of Species.
