Why Charles Darwin Disappointed His Father at First

Charles Darwin knew his father loved him, but this didn’t mean his father became proud of him. While in school to become a doctor, Charles quickly lost interest, and his grades started to suffer. To Robert, this became too much to bear, and he called his son a disappointment. When Robert found out about Charles’ poor grades in college, he told his son, “You care for nothing but shooting, dogs and rat-catching, and you will be a disgrace to yourself and all your family.” Fortunately, Robert did live to see his son’s knowledge as a biologist. #Evolution #Darwin #CharlesDarwin #WhatIsEvolution #RichardDawkins #Creationism #InteligentDesign #NaturalSelection #Genetics #Dna #dogBreeding #JonPerry #StatedClearly #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #Bacteria #frogs #Ecology #science #biology #howNaturalSelectionWorks #allele #fitness #antibiotics #vaccines #MRSA #VRE #scientists #predator #environment #strepThroat #streptococcal #medicine #Teacher #Education #Student #classroom #scienceChannel #bacteriaResistance
