Charles Darwin's Study Of The Galapagos Islands

Charles Darwin is best known for coming up with the idea of evolution. His theory of evolution came from his study of the Galapagos Islands. Charles was a unique person who loved traveling around the world and studying new things.
Charles Darwin was born on February 12,1809, at The Mount, his parents’ estate home on the edge of Shrewsbury, England. His father was Robert Darwin, and his mother was Susannah Wedgwood. His mother died when he was eight years old. Charles grew up with his mother’s family, the Wedgwoods who lived nearby at Maer. He grew up in a very happy and protected environment. He had five siblings Marianne, Caroline, Susan, Erasmus, and Catherine. Out of those five siblings, he was the fifth child.
Charles started university

In 1828 his father sent him to Cambridge University to pursue an ordinary degree program with the goal of later becoming Anglican. He graduated from Cambridge in 1831 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Charles was distinctly more fascinated in biology and geology than he was in a clerical career.
At the age of eighteen, Darwin fell in love with Fanny Owen, the daughter of a family friend. She was a very beautiful. Charles and Fanny loved sending each other love letters referring to one another as Mr. Postillion and the obedient housemaid. He even started to have marriage thoughts.

Darwin’s father didn’t like the idea about his trip around the world, but Darwin convinced him and even payed his passage fee. They left two days after Christmas in 1831. While Charles was on the voyage, he suffered from sea sickness. Unfortunately, he only was able to be at sea for eighteen

While he was in the Galapagos Islands, he observed what would eventually help him to understand what causes plants and animals to envolve. He did not clearly understand his views on this until 1837.
When he left the Galapagos Islands, he still believed in a traditional Biblical creation of all life forms. The species found in the island were not found in any other part of the world. Darwin didn’t understand the fact that the birds were different from one island to another. The reason that these differences existed was because the various species were located in different kinds of
