Charles Darwin

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

Charles Robert Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was a Human scientist who proposed that natural selection allowed adaptable species to survive in changing environments. His 1859 book On the Origin of Species established evolution as a theory.

On Stardate 6451.3, Leonard McCoy suggested that Doctor Katalya Tremain was on the same level with Darwin. (TOS novel: Vulcan!)
