Origin of Species (1859) Darwin named instead South America as his inspiration: When on board H.M.S. 'Beagle,' as naturalist, I was much struck with certain facts in the distribution of the inhabitants of South America, and in the geological relations of the present to the past inhabitants of that continent. 4 But many readers were familiar with one of his most evolutionarily suggestive passages in the second edition of Journal of Researches (1845): Seeing this gradation and diversity of structure

sion. Francis aimed to stress the importance of the voyage and that his fathers thoughts must have turned toward evolution before returning to England. Francis and A. C. Seward returned to the question in More Letters of Charles Darwin (1903). The particular point that Huxley made in 1888 that Darwin could not have come to see evolution before the return of the Beagle was again contested: This seems to us inconsistent with Darwin's own statement that it was especially the character of the

actually on the Galapagos. One of the earliest was Ruth Moore's popular biography of Darwin from 1957: the peculiar little finches with their graduated beaks had given the twenty-six-year-old naturalist a probable answer to that most profound of all problems. 26 An abridged edition of Voyage of the Beagle was published in 1959 by Millicent Selsam with illustrations by Anthony Ravielli. In it, the finches from Darwin's 1845 Journal were rearranged to look like one of those ascending evolutionary

latest techniques of field geology by Professor Adam Sedgwick (1785-1873) during a tour of north Wales. THE BEAGLE VOYAGE Just at this time, Professor Henslow was able to pass on to Darwin the offer of Commander Robert FitzRoy (1805-1865) of travelling on a Royal Navy survey ship, HMS Beagle, as a scientific person or naturalist. It has become a commonplace in recent years to read that Darwin was not the official naturalist on the Beagle but actually the captain's companion. In fact

earthquakes and volcanoes, during the Beagle voyage and he became convinced that most of Lyell's views were correct. Darwin made several very important discoveries about the geology of South America, volcanic islands and the origins of coral reefs by building on Lyell's ideas. Darwin later wrote in the 2nd edition of his Journal of researches (1845): Where on the face of the earth can we find a spot, on which close investigation will not discover signs of that endless cycle of change, to which

palaeontologists, virtually all of them pious Christians, had discovered that the world was not a few thousand but countless millions of years old. So before Darwin ever sailed on the Beagle it was almost universally accepted by western naturalists that the world was unimaginably ancient and that countless eras of life had come and gone in succession. It was also known that the fossil record was, broadly speaking, progressive. In the oldest rocks there were simple shells, then came fish with

and early theorizing were recorded in a series of notebooks similar to those he kept during the Beagle voyage. These show in remarkable detail how his theorizing gradually changed to reach its mature form. In September 1838 Darwin read Thomas Malthus's Essay on the Principle of Population (1798). Malthus argued that human population growth, unless somehow checked, would necessarily outstrip food production. He argued that population growth was geometrical. For example, two parents

skills before he could publish his species theory. Marine invertebrates had been of central interest for Darwin since his student days in Edinburgh. During the Beagle voyage a large proportion of his zoological notes were devoted to them, and he did not give this class of organisms to another expert to identify but kept them for himself. He consistently maintained in his letters that he would publish he theory come what may. It is now clear that Darwin did not hold back or keep his

work resulting from the five-year Beagle voyage. This work would take him more than a decade to complete, as Professor Henslow had foretold. Darwin conducted breeding experiments with animals and plants and corresponded and read widely for many years to refine and substantiate his theory of evolution and to work out the many aspects of its implications and to solve problems with it as they arose. In 1842 he prepared a sketch outlining his theory as it then stood. This was greatly

role in the existing literature are very often mistaken and misinformed. For example, Darwin was not, as sometimes described, a judge and he did not preside at a police court . After returning home from the voyage of the Beagle in October 1836, Darwin stayed briefly in Cambridge and then took a house in London to be close to the scientific experts and societies that were describing and discussing his many specimens from the voyage. It was during this fruitful time that his theory of

He returned to Shrewsbury to find that letter waiting for him that was to change his life - the invitation to go as a naturalist on a voyage of the Beagle. Charles was eager to go, his father objected, but allowed himself to be persuaded by Charles' uncle Josiah Wedgwood into giving consent. So Charles was out of England from the end of 1831 to October 1836 and only visited Shrewsbury occasionally
