Charles Darwin was born into a wealthy English family.
I love my parents!
As a child, Darwin had an obsession with bugs and other wildlife.
What an interesting specimen; I'll make sure to add this one to my journal!
But unfortunately, at the age of 16, his father had signed him up for medical school.
But father, I want to pursue theology, not medical science!
Yes, but think about all of the money you can make as a doctor!
Darwin protested against his fathers decision and stopped going to his medical school classes and only attended a taxidermy class at the school, taught by John Edmund Stone, a formerly enslaved black man.
Hello class. Let's talk about taxidermy.
How interesting!
He also joined a club where he explored and debated scientific theory.
I don't believe in that theory!
Well, I do!
His father eventually found out about everything Darwin had been doing behind his back and forced him to transfer to Cambridge and become a parson.
I don't want to become a parson!
How dare you do this to your father! I'm sending you to Cambridge, far away from any animal-related classes! You're becoming a parson!
