Charles Darwin was a naturalist in the 1800’s that went to Christ College to study natural history. He was accepted for the Naturalist position on the HMS Beagle and soon was on a 5-year voyage around the world. He had an amazing opportunity to collect many specimens for his scientific study, but one of the most important stops was in the Galapagos Archipelago. His findings led him to speculate and found the revolutionary theory of evolution. Natural Selection is a notable part of Evolution, which is a very well known theory that is excepted by many scientist as fact. Even though Charles Darwin wrote about these processes over 150 years ago, there is still many people that do not believe in the theory of evolution. In relation to Evolution, natural selection is believe to be one of the major aspects that causes it and is honestly quite important. This is the process of adaptation and variation; it helps animals change to their varying environments. By allowing small and sometimes odd variations of a trait into the mix, the species can grow to have noticeable changes that can benefit that animal species. The change will be in that species’ favor because the weaker mate and their offspring will die off and not …show more content…
As a result of the isolation that this part of the species’ population has, they will adapt to their local environment. When it reaches a point of buildup in variation, the differences will be so vast that the isolated group cannot interbreed with the rest of the species. So the process ends with two different species and an example of this would be Darwin’s Finches. He categorized many of the birds he found in the Galapagos Islands but he realized the differences in the species that lived on different parts of the islands. Many of them had developed different shaped beaks and different sizes due to what food was most abundant in their local
