What is Charles Darwin famous for?

I am most widely recognised for my theory of evolution by natural selection. My extensive observations during the voyage of the HMS Beagle, particularly in regions like the Galapagos Islands, provided the foundational evidence. This led me to propose that species change over time and that the diversity of life arises from a process of gradual modification, driven by the differential survival and reproduction of individuals with advantageous traits.
