At the age of sixteen, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh University to study in order that he could become a doctor. But he was interested in the history of nature.
Then he was sent to study at Cambridge University. There he studied until 1831.
Some time later he heard that the ship H.M.S Beagle was going on a trip to South America. Since he wanted to be a scientist, his professor advised him to take the ship. So when the ship left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it. The trip lasted almost five years. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants.
