>>>> Career: Naturalist, though studied medicine and theology at Edinburgh

>>>> of South America and some islands in the Pacific Ocean in the years
>>>> 1831-1836.
>>>>
>>>> Notable achievements: The concepts of Evolution and Survival of the
>>>> Fittest are most closely associated with my work, though I have
>>>> published on topics such as coral reefs, climbing plants, and
>>>> insectivorous plants. See a list of my publications below.
