Which Cambridge professors influenced Charles Darwin’s interest in natural history?

While at the University of Cambridge, two professors significantly influenced Charles Darwin’s development as a naturalist:

• John Stevens Henslow: A botany professor who mentored Darwin and ultimately suggested he join the voyage of the HMS Beagle, which provided the foundation for his later work on natural selection.12
• Adam Sedgwick: A geologist and proponent of providential design who took Darwin on a geologic field trip to Wales in 1831, helping to shape his early scientific observations.2

It is important to note that while Darwin’s interest in natural history was further cultivated by these Cambridge mentors, his earlier exposure to radical evolutionary ideas and invertebrate zoology occurred under the mentorship of Robert Edmond Grant at the University of Edinburgh, rather than at Cambridge.12
