Deceased Romanov Impostor Anna Anderson

February 12, 1984

For several years, many people, especially the remaining relatives of the murdered Romanov family, believed that Anna Anderson was the long-lost princess of imperial Russia Anastasia. But with his death today in 1984, what they thought was a great truth was completely shattered. Anderson died while in Virginia, United States at the age of 87. Before he was cremated and returned to Germany a DNA sample was examined from the body of Anderson and the rest of Romanov, and he was later found not to be related to who of the Romanov. Two more years of the remains of the Romanov family could not be found until 2007, when the bones of the believed Tsarevich Alexei and another son of Nicholas II Mary were excavated. Anastasia's bones will be discovered along with the bones of the slain Romanovs unearthed by archaeologists in 1979. But why did Anderson's deception last?

In 1920, a woman was taken to a mental asylum after being rescued from an attempt to jump over a bridge in Berlin, Germany. He allegedly did not remember his past, no matter where he lived. She later named herself Anna Anderson. Many noticed her appearance, which was very similar to that of Gran Dukesa Anastasia, who was rumored to have survived the murder of her family. The remaining relatives of the Romanovs are more convinced that she is Anastasia because she is also very vocal and she almost knows the things that only Anastasia knows. But there are others who doubt the identity of the self-proclaimed Anastasia, so Tsarina Alexandra's sister Ernst Louis, Duke of Hesse, conducted an investigation to find out her true identity. It turned out that he was Franziska Schanzkowska, a worker in a factory in Poland with a mental disorder. Anderson, however, convinced many that he was the missing duchess. He lived in Germany from 1922 to 1968, when he moved to the United States where he married history professor Jack Manahan.

Anna Anderson can be considered the most credible of the six cheaters who identified Anastasia. With the closure of Anastasia's case, the mystery of the last family that once ruled Russia has come to an end. Anastasia was the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, who at the age of 17 was assassinated by the Bolshevik communists with her entire family on July 17, 1918.

British Naturalist Charles Darwin was born

February 12, 1809

One of the most famous but controversial European scientists, whose scientific works have made important contributions in the field of Science, especially in modern biology and has been the basis of enrichment in the study of the evolution of life in our world is the British naturalist Charles Robert Darwin. Today is his 212nd birthday.

Charles Darwin was born in Shropshire, United Kingdom in 1809, and the fifth of six children of Robert and Susanna Darwin. His grandfather was Erasmus Darwin, who preceded his concept of common ancestry in his work Zoonomia in 1794.

As a child, Charles was interested in natural history, and later became interested in the study of science at a time when such a subject was not very popular in British schools. His father studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but instead focused his attention on studying rocks and classification of plant species, and on the taxidermy or scientific process of preserving dead animal. Darwin was among the radical students who criticized the Church's teaching that God created all living things and the concept of "intelligent design". Although studying theology at Cambridge University he has become passionate about natural history.

In 1831 he began traveling around the world, aboard a British naval vessel HMS Beagle, as a naturalist. He intends to examine and study the lands of southern America and make a new map of such area from his observations. He spent his time studying and analyzing the species of animals and plants, rocks and fossils he found in the regions of Brazil, Argentina, Chile to the Galapagos archipelago in the Pacific ocean.

Darwin is arguably the second most successful British to have circled the world. He brought home specimens to the United Kingdom in 1836 that would be the basis for his studies and new discoveries. Through the fossils he obtained, his understanding of the geography of our plant was clarified several million years ago. His analysis of the acquired plant and animal species has also been key to studying the dramatic change in species over a very long period of time. This is where the breakthrough in the field of science was born - the Natural Selection. According to Darwin, the ability of a species to adapt or adapt to radical changes in the environment is a clear reason for changing a species over a long period of time. Such species, according to Darwin, have the ability to survive and pass on their genes. He published his studies in his book "On The Origin of the Species" in 1859, which garnered attention not only to his peers in science but also to religious groups.

Although many people noticed and were convinced of his studies, many criticized his book and especially his own, because of its strange idea that animals have a common ancestry with each other, especially in people, and in its reversal of the existing teaching of the church that our planet is 6,000 years old. His writings have been criticized, especially by religious people, for trying to ban reading. But that did not stop the popularity of Darwin's works. Fellow naturalist Alfred Wallace also supported his study.

Charles Darwin died on April 19, 1882, at his home in Downe, United Kingdom. Until his death he was slandered by those who wanted to deny his education, when they spread the rumor that he had revoked his education and converted to church teaching before his death, which the children themselves strongly denied. by Darwin. He was given the honor of being buried with honor at Westminster Abbey in London, United Kingdom.
