English naturalist, geologist and biologist Charles Darwin was born #OTD in 1809. Darwin's book introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. via @wikipedia
