"Would you like a vacation in five years? At first it would be fun, but the truth is that after a while as insurance is that you'll end up boring. If you are worried maybe you seek to do to entertain you, this happened to Charles Darwin, when he was invited to a boat trip to the final two years became 5. The long journey forever changed the life of this boy and all the natural world.
Charles Darwin was a simple country boy, son of a rural doctor. As there could be medical (bored a lot in school) his father persuaded him to study to become a rural priest. So Darwin at age 22 took his life in looking for a nice basement when he was invited to join the crew of a ship called the Beagle. He had been appointed naturalist the ship, but his real function would be accompanied during their meals at the captain, an aristocrat berrinchudo.
Beagle's mission was to map the coast of South America, Darwin was the trip to Brazil, Argentina, Chile and the Galapagos Islands. The show with that bullet in these lands was impressive for someone who had only lived with cows, sheep and birds. On expeditions to the ground, Charles found strange animals he had never seen: Enormous ostrich-like birds called rheas, armored armadillos, anteaters, mice, the size of a pig, monkeys and giant tortoises. Very
Formica as he was, take seriously their job as a naturalist, studying with interest and dedication of nature around him. He had a talent for observing the small details and establish relationships between the things I observed. Along with live animals, Charles Darwin also studied the fossils of extinct animals, specimens found among its findings that seemed to animals that still existed but were larger as Megatherium is an extinct giant armadillo. Others seemed to puzzle that came together parts of other animals, an example was the Toxodon, a fossil skull of which both parties had a mouse and elephant parts. After watching
there were many similarities between animals and fossils, Charles Darwin's head was full of questions: how animal species originated? and how they became what they are?. In humans, if a person is like another, they may be relatives (uncles, cousins, siblings), perhaps it was the same animal. A Darwin occurred to him that perhaps all living things were related in some way and that they shared common ancestors, as families in a family tree. It was logical then to think that changes in one species gave rise to another in a process called evolution.
Darwin also found that changes or developments species was given by the struggle for survival. It was a simple answer, the better suited it was a group of animals to their environment less die and therefore more of them would be in place. While they did not have the best skills disappear. So on an island, birds with beaks to open shellfish would be more numerous than those who did not have this kind of peak. This process Darwin called natural selection, because it is the nature beings who selects must live and reproduce, and which are not suitable. All findings were published in the book "The Origin of Species" the culmination of 5 years of vacation possible to understand as they were born and created plants and animals that inhabit this planet.
