The Voyage of the Beagle

The theory of evolution through natural selection, developed by Charles Darwin, revolutionized our understanding of biology and humanity's role in nature. His groundbreaking ideas were largely shaped by his five-year voyage on the HMS Beagle, where he conducted extensive research across South America and the South Pacific from 1831 to 1836. This journey provided him with critical observations and insights that laid the foundation for his influential work in natural history.
