  1. darwin

    Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882) was a British naturalist and biologist known for his contributory work on the science of evolution. He proposed scientific theories of natural selection and survival of the fittest, asserting that all species of organisms develop through a process of natural variation and inherited traits. His most renowned work is ‘On the Origin of Species’ which fundamentally revolutionized the realm of biological science. The term "Darwin" can also be used to refer to his evolutionary theories or principles, often labeled as "Darwinian" theories or "Darwinism". In addition, Darwin is also the name of a city, the capital of Australia's Northern Territory.

  1. Darwin

    Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory, Australia. Situated on the Timor Sea, Darwin is the most populated of the two cities in the sparsely populated Northern Territory, with a population of 129,062. It is the smallest and most northerly of the Australian capital cities, and acts as the Top End's regional centre. Darwin has grown from a pioneer outpost and small port into one of Australia's most modern and multicultural cities. Darwin's proximity to South East Asia makes it an important Australian gateway to countries such as Indonesia and East Timor. The Stuart Highway begins in Darwin, ending at Port Augusta in South Australia. The city itself is built on a low bluff overlooking the harbour. Its suburbs spread out over some area, beginning at Lee Point in the north and stretching to Berrimah in the east. Past Berrimah, the Stuart Highway goes on to Darwin's satellite city, Palmerston, and its suburbs. The region, like the rest of the Top End, has a tropical climate, with a wet and a dry season. The city is noted for its consistently warm to hot climate, all throughout the year. Prone to cyclone activity during the wet season, Darwin experiences heavy monsoonal down pours and spectacular lightning shows. During the dry season, the city is met with blue skies and gentle sea breezes from the picturesque harbour.

Examples of Darwin in a Sentence

  1. Harold Trompetero:

    When we were writing the script I came across a quote by Darwin that said in the evolution of the species it wasn't the most intelligent or the strongest who survived, but the ones who adapted best, for a long time we'll need to adapt ourselves to new ways of doing things under these circumstances. If not, we will drown.

  2. Steven Wright:

    My theory of evolution is that Darwin was adopted.

  3. A.E. Samaan:

    The claim that Darwin’s theories were at the core of eugenics, the racial science at the core of Nazism, are not new. They are not revisionist history made upon the revelations of the Death Camps. These claims precede The Holocaust by several decades. American and British icons of science, namely Darwin’s relatives and colleagues, were making this claim before Adolf Hitler was even born, and continued to do so on up through the end of WWII.

  4. Ian Shepherd:

    Southeasterly trade winds extending from the subtropical ridge to the south will normally suppress thunderstorm activity over much of the Northern Territory during the late dry season( September) and at times early in the wet season( October and November), leaving Hector as a prominent but isolated feature on the Darwin skyline.

  5. Anonymous:

    l'adaptabilité est le secret de la survie. Selon Charles Darwin, ni le plus fort ni le plus intelligent mais seulement les espèces les plus adaptables gagne à la fin. Alors faites de votre mieux pour être le plus adaptable, dans votre vie personnelle autant que dans les relations professionnelles. Qui est le secret de la survie et de succès!" - Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate.
