See what major events in Darwin's life took place in
June. This section is updated each month. Click here to see
the entire list. A FEW NOTABLE EVENTS - 17 June 1825 Darwin's father took him out of Shrewsbury school due to his poor grades and his having no direction in life. 18 June 1858 Darwin received a paper from Alfred Russel Wallace regarding his own version of evolution theory. 20 June 1860 The "Great Oxford Debate" between Bishop Wilberforce and Thomas Huxley took place on this date. |
"None have fought better, and none have been more
fortunate than Charles Darwin. He found a great truth, trodden under
foot, reviled by bigots, and ridiculed by all the world; he lived
long enough to see it, chiefly by his own efforts, irrefragably
established in science, inseparably incorporated with the common
thoughts of men, and only hated and feared by those who would
revile, but dare not." (Charles Darwin’s obituary, by Thomas Huxley
in the journal Nature, April 27, 1882) |
