Charles Darwin, e.g. (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scientist

(Other definitions for scientist that I've seen before include "It's nicest for one engaged in specialist studies" , "Is it insects, strangely, the learned person knows about?" , "Inset tics for this learned one" , "Eg. Physicist" , "One studying nature or physics, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
