I prefer to think that Charles Darwin had the “Renaissance Spirit”. The Renaissance Spirit consisted of art, literature, and exploration. You had to think more about art, and indicate beautiful sculptures and learn to appreciate art. You had to also know how to read and write, fluently. Exploration is just looking at the world at a different aspect. The reason that I chose Charles Darwin is because the explored around, and had a different view from an average man or woman at his time. When Charles Darwin was just merrily a young child, he was different. He loved to explore his garden and look and touch bugs, when kids his age went to school. People in Europe and America believed God created the world in six days, just like it is written in the bible. But Charles Darwin thought differently, just like a true scientist. Most people then would just accept the fact. He questioned everything, and would always find the answer by looking at it. Then, to satisfy his curiosity, Charles Darwin would explore to new lands, compare their plants and animals to his land and take notes. Charles Darwin developed a new idea that animals and everything evolved naturally over time, which represents the fact that in my opinion, he has the renaissance spirit.
