Karol was born into a family of scientists and spent most of his childhood wandering around the area collecting seeds, plants and insects. His fascination with nature meant that, as a member of a research expedition, he embarked on a cruise on the "Beagle" ship along the coasts of Africa, South America and Australia, and this journey left a lasting mark in the history of science. His observations, notes and natural specimens from his travels, as well as further scientific research, resulted in the development of the theory that all species come from earlier forms of life, which gradually transform over the years, and the organisms with the best adaptability have a chance for survival. An inspiring story of a naturalist, scientist, creator of the theory of evolution and natural selection, who, thanks to boundless curiosity and perseverance, made discoveries that became the basis of natural sciences.
