Darwin: Early stages of life.

paternal grandfather was a well known physician Erasmus Darwin who .
formulated one of the first formal theories on evolution in his work Zoomania in .
which he discussed ideas that Charles would elaborate on some 60 years later. .
Darwin originally intended to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and studied .
medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but after 2 years dropped out to enroll at .
the University of Cambridge, in preparation for becoming a clergyman of the .
Church of England. It is there that Darwin met the most influential figures in his .
education: Adam Sedgwick, a geologist, and John Stevens Henslow, a naturalist. .
These men helped to build his confidence and taught him to observe the natural .
world. These 2 men were not the only mentors for Darwin though. Many other .
people influenced Darwin's intellectual development, including the philosopher of .
science and scientist William Whewell.
