Later Life
Darwin worked late into old age and, after completing a lifetime of research, died in London on 19th April 1882 (at the age of 73). The cause of his death is unknown yet it is suspected that he contracted a virus or was bitten whilst travelling. Darwin was so revered and respected by the British public and the politicians of the time that he was deemed worthy of a burial amongst other great Britons. He was laid to rest in Westminster Abbey near another momentous scientist called Sir Isaac Newton.
Legacy
Charles Darwin literally changed the world and the way we regard all living organisms. In the century since his findings were published, DNA studies have revealed evidence to support his theory of evolution. Regarded by the majority of people world-wide, his theory of natural selection is now accepted as scientific fact. His ground-breaking research and ultimate courage to follow what he knew to be true makes him one of the greatest Britons our country has ever produced. He is a national treasure and such was his importance in British culture and history that, until recently, his face could be found on the back of £10 notes. Charles Darwin is truly a remarkable man, whose theories changed the outlook of the world forever.
