Yes his name was Joseph Dalton Hooker

Amendment:

The scope of the question depends on WHEN Darwin needed an assistant.

During the voyage of HMS Beagle, Darwin's assistant was Simon "Syms"

Covington. You can read more about young master Covington and his

adventures here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syms_Covington

Covington began life aboard HMS Beagle as a fiddler and cabin boy but

he soon began assisting Darwin. Covington also kept a detailed journal,

the published title of which is

"The Journal of Syms Covington, Assistant to Charles Darwin Esq."
