Charles Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection was both indebted to his own comprehensive and meticulous observations and provided a beautiful theoretical understanding of the evolution of the vast diversity of life on Earth .
Darwin 's first work, The Voyage of the Beagle ( 1839 ), is a page-turner of an adventure story and an awe-inspiring account of nature’s wonders.
Darwin ’s theory of evolution by natural selection arose, in large part, from observations he made of the flora and fauna of the Galapagos Islands .
The archipelago consists of ten principal islands, of which five exceed the others in size.
The islands are situated under the Equator , and between five and six hundred miles westward of America .
Darwin 's account of his travels as a young man, before his fame was secured, is mature, painstaking, and lyrical, all at the same time.
I will return to the Galapagos for the third time next year , and this time I will go with my eyes opened to new wonders.
I plan to focus on everything I see with a new intensity, and to try and share his sense of fascination.
