 * In 1800's, a boy in England was curious about the world and wanted to explore what are other things the boy can explore. Charles Darwin wanted to spend all of his life just exploring what is the world and explore what other creatures or things are also in the world. Darwin's family was wealthy and had chores so he had time to explore other stuff he never saw. While he was at school, he would explore insects instead of study. Even as an adult, he still was interested in the natural world. He went to school in Cambridge and he admired a man named professor Henslow. As he was exploring, he was eager to show his professor what he has seen. In 1831, he received a letter from his professor to got to a trip to places where they had strange stuff there and he wanted to bring naturalists. They were called the Beagles. Weeks later, he had a collection of stuff and surprised everyone. Now he is too tired of exploring but scientists still look for other stuff because of Darwin's work.**
