Charles Darwin and Evolution
“from so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being,
evolved.” – Origin of Species
I. Darwin’s Travels
1. In 1831, Charles Darwin traveled on the
HMS Beagle (a ship) around the world from
England. One specific place he went was to
the Galapagos Islands off of Ecuador.
2. Along the way, he made observations of
many plants and animals and collected
specimens. This evidence led him to propose
a revolutionary hypothesis on evolution.

Evolution is basically change over
time. It is the process by which
modern organisms descended from
ancient ones.
II. Darwin’s Observations
He asked questions!
- Why aren’t there any rabbits in Australia
even though climate is right?
- Why are there no kangaroos in England?
- Why is there such variety in living things,
i.e. biological diversity.
- How are species so well suited to their
habitats?
- Why had so many species disappeared?
- How are they related to living ones?
