Summary/Abstract: Celebrating two centuries since the birth of the famous naturalist Charles Darwin, the first part of this paper presents briefly his origin, his childhood, his adolescence and his studies followed by an even shorter description of his journey around the world on the brig-sloop „Beagle” (27th of December 1831 – 2nd of October 1836) and the ulterior activity until his death. This continues with the summary of Darwin’s evolutionary conception and it ends with the enumerations of the postdarwinian evolutionist theories.
