Portrait of Charles Darwin, British naturalist

Charles Darwin. Engraving of Charles RobertDarwin (1809-1882), British naturalist, in oldage. Darwin studied medicine and theology but hisinterest was in natural history. He was anaturalist on a five year voyage around the worldduring 1831-36. This provided the fieldwork forhis book, Origin of Species (1859). His theoryof natural selection suggested that naturalvariation in a species creates a wide range ofindividual traits, some more useful than others.Competition to survive causes favourable traits tosurvive and so a species evolves. Though not thefirst person to suggest evolution, Darwin was thefirst to construct a proper scientific argument toprove it

Snow is seen on top of narrow boats are seen at sunset on Regents Canal in Little Venice in central London February 3, 2009. An icy night and forecasts of more heavy snow disrupted airports and schools across the country for a second day on Tuesday with hundreds of flights delayed or cancelled. Millions of people returned to work in the south east as transport systems stalled by Monday's blizzards slowly returned to operation, but tens of thousands of children were given a another day off because schools across the country remained closed.
