==Biography==
Darwin was born in 1961 in London. He is the son of George Erasmus Darwin, a metallurgist, known as "Erasmus", and his wife Shuna (née Service). He has an older brother Robert George Darwin and a younger sister, Sarah Vogel. He is descended from Charles Darwin via Charles's son George Howard Darwin (1845-1912); his son William Robert Darwin (1894-1970), a stockbroker, and his wife Sarah Monica (née Slingsby) were the parents of George Erasmus Darwin (1927-).〔https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/lan/en/darwin.html〕
Ironically, given his famous ancestor, Darwin struggled with biology in his school years, failing the biology A-level. He later graduated from Oxford Polytechnic (latterly Oxford Brookes University) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Geography. In 1983 he started London’s first bicycle rickshaw taxi service, and in 1984 was official photographer and assistant organiser for the first Round Britain Windsurf Expedition. The book "Round Britain Windsurf" by Tim Batstone, features Darwin's photographs.〔http://riaus.org.au/programs/presenters/〕 He worked in advertising and television commercial production in the United Kingdom before emigrating to Australia in 1986.〔(Darwin descendant drops in for talks )〕
In 1991, he co-authored (with John Amy) the book ''The Social Climbers''. In 1995, he co-edited (also with John Amy), ''The Ultimate Australian Adventure Guide''.〔C Darwin and J Amy,1995, ''The Ultimate Australian Adventure Guide'', Pan Macmillan, Sydney, ISBN 0-330-35609-7〕 Darwin is married to Jacqui and has three children, Ali, Erasmus (Ras), and Monty.〔 〕 They live in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, New South Wales, where Chris works in nature conservation.
