He laid the ground work for the theory of evolution, and created Darwinism (Survival of the fittest.) (or Natural Selection)

He traveled to the Galapagos Islands, and on each island discovered new types of Finch birds. He then studied the environment they survived in, and theorized that they must have evolved form a similar bird, and evolved different traits to match the environment they were in.

Charles Darwin DID NOT state that man evolved from the ape, or even the Chimp. He stated, in so many words, that the chimp and man (or hominids, which they are referred to) diverged into two separate and distinct species. If, for example, man evolved from the ape or the chimp, there would be no more chimps left! There is absolutely nothing within "On the Origin of the Species" that states that man evolved from the ape or the chimp. This is a farce that has evolved through time since the time Darwin released his works.

Charles Darwin studied medicine at Edinburgh and for the ministry at Cambridge.
