HMS Beagle

Okay.

On this day in 1835, the HMS Beagle with Charles Darwin on board reaches the Galapagos Islands.

I've read The Voyage of the Beagle, and it's brilliant, I think.

If you wanna read, if you wanna read about evolution, I would say don't start with The Origin of the Species.

He was fascinated by how people would later use photographs to document not only landscapes, but also the very faces of soldiers and civilians alike.

As a teenager in the early 1850s, Thomas witnessed Charles Darwin leave England for a five-year voyage aboard HMS Beagle.

The naturalist's observations at sea would soon culminate in his theory of evolution by natural selection, a concept that challenged long-held beliefs about creation.

Thomas later read On the Origin of Species on a railway journey and was struck by how one man could change the way everyone thinks about living things.

And I'll get back to that in a bit.

But it was during Darwin's famous voyage on the HMS Beagle in the 1830s, a surveying expedition around the world, that he began to formulate this theory.

was able to study all kinds of organisms and he kept amazing journals.

Looking back on his notes, he hit upon a couple of particularly important factors in species survival.

When you read the details about this, this is the kind of thing that took me a long time.

I actually got the deck logs of the HMS Beagle from the British Naval... archive and i looked at every stop the beagle made in that whole south american tour and around the galapagos and i found out that he could not have done the research he said i don't even think he was on the ship and fauci's like that only of a different caliber so so i think i think darwin was a complete front man he was a he was a family member of a wealthy family that didn't have any purpose hang on doc hang on we got we got a hard time

here let's let's pick up right where we left off interesting Ladies and gentlemen, TheMedicalRebel.com. Go to that website on the break.

You got many, many answers there.

Más o menos durante el mismo periodo, Charles Darwin estaba haciendo algo igual de revolucionario.

Navegó a bordo del HMS Beagle desde 1831 hasta 1836, explorando las Islas Galápagos y viajando a muchas otras regiones.

Darwin was just a young naturalist of about 20 years, and this journey lasted almost five years, taking him around the world and exposing him to a biodiversity that most people could not even imagine existed.

The Galapagos Islands left him completely impressed.

Charles Darwin was born in 1809, came from privilege, education, and access.

His voyage on the HMS Beagle shaped his thinking, and for decades he quietly developed the theory of evolution.

By the time Wallace's manuscript arrived, Darwin had already written much of what would become On the Origin of Species, but the book had not been published yet.

Wallace had no idea that Darwin had sat on this theory for 20 years.

Hello and welcome to the Wild Episode, the second in a little series of episodes following Charles Darwin around South America on the HMS Beagle, checking in on some of the animals he met along the way to see what, if anything, they've got to tell us about evolution.

The good news is, if you didn't listen to the first episode in the series, you don't need to for this one, but obviously you're missing out because it was about steamer ducks, which are very special, very grumpy ducks.

Today we're doing a frog.

Kind of amazing, but just what amphibians, frogs in particular, do.

But no, worldwide amphibians take an astonishing variety of different approaches to producing and raising the next generation.

And one of the most dramatic outliers with a very distinctive approach to parenthood is a frog that not only bears Darwin's name – Darwin's frog, Rhinoderma darwinii – but as a species he was the first Western naturalist to ever record during his voyage on the HMS Beagle.

Darwin's Menagerie Part 2 Frog Fatherhood By late 1834, HMS Beagle, with Charles Darwin aboard, had rounded the southern tip of South America and was working its way up the coast of southern Chile.

As wild and spectacular a bit of the world as you could ever hope to see.
