EVOLUTION. The theory of Evolution was thought up by Charles Darwin. He was born in Shrewsbury, England on February 12, 1809. He went to the University of Edinburgh for two years and to the University of Cambridge for the other two. He prepared to become a clergyman even though he was deeply interested in natural history. When he was twenty-three years old in the spring of 1831 Darwin was accepted to go on a ship that was captained by Robert Fitzroy.
The ship’s name was The HMS Beagle. The purpose of the voyage was to survey the East and West coast of South America and the Pacific Islands but Darwin’s intention was to study different species of animals. During the voyage Darwin witnessed his first earthquake in Chili. He also figured out that some of the Islands he visited during the expedition were made from volcanic lava that took a very period of time to form.
Darwin was so thorough about describing in his notes all his observations that he was able to write three books about South American Geology. When Darwin reached the Galapagos Islands he made careful observations of the animal inhabiting the islands. In his time people thought that the world was only a few thousand years old. He proved them wrong when he noticed the different variations of fossils and animals. For example, he observed the difference in length of tortoises’ necks and different variations of the finches’ beaks. The change in both tortoises’ necks and finches’ beaks occurred because of the constant struggle for food.
The Essay on Glspy Island Animal Humans
Glspy is an organism that is twenty five feet long and ten inches wide. The male is longer than the female the male is forty feet long and fifteen inches wide. The glspy is a leaf eater and doesn't have to worry about predators because they look like pythons after having a big meal. The glspy is a unique animal it goes out during to eat during the day and at night it fights with other animals to ...
In the result of that struggle those species that survived and adapted to the environment were the fittest. Darwin’s voyage, which was supposed to last for two years, lasted for five. When he came home he continued his studies for years. Eventually his Theory of Evolution through natural selection was accepted all over the world. Charles Darwin died on April 19, 1882 but his work always remains central to the modern evolution theory.
