Charles Darwin Quotes:
Ocupation: Naturalist
Life: February 12, 1809 - April 19, 1882
Birthday: February 12
Death: April 19
Now when naturalists observe a close agreement in numerous small details of habits, tastes and dispositions between two or more domestic races, or between nearly-allied natural forms, they use this fact as an argument that all are descended from a common progenitor who was thus endowed; and consequently that all should be classed under the same species. The same argument may be applied with much force to the races of man.
