Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin was an English naturalist who was most famous for his groundbreaking theories of evolution. His theories, since known as Darwinism, were put forth in two books – On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859) and The Descent of Man, and Section in Relation to Sex (1871).

When he turned 16, he went to the University of Edinburgh to study medicine. Repelled by the lack of anesthetics, Darwin was fascinated by zoology and geology.

The post Charles Darwin appeared first on Richard Cassaro.
Richard Cassaro is a journalist, speaker and author of “Written In Stone: Decoding The Secret Masonic Religion Hidden In Gothic Cathedrals And World Architecture.” The book uncovers a lost Wisdom Tradition that was practiced globally in antiquity, found memorialized in pyramids, Triptychs, and identical images worldwide. The central tenets of this tradition have been perpetuated in Western Secret Societies. The most visible of these is the so-called “Masonic Fraternity,” an age-old chivalric Order whose ranks have included Europe’s Gothic cathedral builders and America’s Founding Fathers. Richard has two websites: www.DeeperTruth.com and www.RichardCassaro.com
