that time. During his journey, Darwin not only forcused on the characteristics and evolution of plants and animals, but also observed human activities among different regions, and triggered a lot of thinking about human society. In the chapter “Tierra Del Fuego”, Darwin make a close observation towards native Fuegians. Darwin found that Fuegians are actually savage, and they are barely human.

Charles Darwin The famous naturalist Charles Darwin embarked on hundreds of miles of land excursions during the often-told story of the H. M. S. Beagle voyage, and on these trips, the most lasting visual impressions for Darwin are the Cordilleras Mountains, the Fuegian natives, and the Brazilian rainforests.

Charles Darwin was one of the most influential people in history. He probably never imagined that his theory of evolution and natural selection would become one of the most important scientific theories in the history of the world. He probably never imagined that it would cause so much controversy over the way human beings came into existence either. Charles R.
