3. Ssssh! We are going to talk about Charles Darwin.

4. DARWIN was born in the English town of Shrewsbury the 12th-2-09. The same date as today but…200 years ago. Our greatgrandparent's grandparents time.

6. * Darwin's family was as strange and interesting as his insects and pigeons collections. * This is his grandfather, ERASMUS DARWIN so famous as a doctor that George III, the king, invited him to be his personal doctor, but Darwin refused. *Darwin's grandfather was very critical.

8. Darwin's mother, Susana Wedgewood, was a very sensitive and religious person and an active member of Shrewsbury's church.

9. Darwin said that there could be a more cultured person, but his father was the smartest person he had ever known. In that inusual home environment, cultured, tolerant and free, the young Darwin grew up. His father, the doctor Robert Darwin, wasn't believer at all.

26. Darwin read Malthus, who considered that human beings will grow in geometrical progression while food grows in aritmethical progression. In the end there will be more people than food. And the excess of people will be reduced for hunger, diseases or wars. Darwin was surprised with the ideas of Malthus, because he saw the big force of nature. A lot of creatures multiply in great amounts, but only a few survive.

34. Darwin was responsible for a clear difference in society before and after his books publications. Evolutionists and non evolucionists were born. Some people said that the church couldn't agree with evolutionism and believe in God at the same time.

38. Today we are celebrating 200 YEARS of that THEORY which is so important for science. Happily and without any dogma.
