The Many Faces of Psychology

Because of this experience Darwin was able to write and edit his first own research book and call it "Journal of Researches " (1839). He then wrote a second edition of the book where he talks about the nature of things and how they tend to change without us even noticing, a quote from his book proves this theory "Where on the face of the earth can we find a spot, on which close investigation will not discover signs of that endless cycle of change, to which this earth has been, is, and will be subjected? "(1838). While most people believed different species started in different places and the species that have been created where they are now found, Charles begged to differ. He could not understand where species came from or how they were so easily able to cope with their environment, that the only answer he found made sense was that "life evolves ". What he meant by that was that we all have one common descendent and we all evolved from it and he believed the environment was a big factor on the organism's evolution. He simply believed that whoever was stronger enough to survive was going to be the offspring for future generations. Because of this theory he was able to write a book in 1859 "Origin of Species " which showed we are "descent with modification " he was able to "prove " his theory by simply researching the progressive fossil record, geographical distribution of species, developments in embryo, the similar structures humans have with animals, vestige and classification of organisms known as taxonomic relationships. .
             About five decades after Charles Darwin was born, another interesting character of psychology was born; his name was Edward Titcher. Titcher was born January 11, 1867 in Chichester, England. He was the son of Alice Field and John Titcher and started school early at the nearby School of Chichester Prebendal, later on he went to Malvern College. From 1885 to 1889 he was enrolled in Brasenose College, Oxford where he was a senior scholar in classics and Philosophy, he was also a senior Hulme exhibitioner.
