Charles Darwin wrote a book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859 that first contemplated the theory of natural selection by the process that an organism can change over its lifetime resulting changes and having both heritable physical or behavioral characteristics. These changes would allow organisms to adapt to its environment, help it to survive and reproduce. Evolution by natural selection is the most supported theories in the history of science by evidence with a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including paleontology, geology, genetics and developmental biology.

Beagle with the help of John Henslowe and set sail two day after Christmas.
Darwin’s trip started at the Galápagos Islands at the Eastern Pacific Ocean for five weeks. There he observed plants and animals that seemed to have evolved, but he clearly did not express his views until 1837. When he he left the Galápagos Islands, he still had traditional and biblical beliefs of creation about all life.
When Darwin retuned to England an ornithologist associate found 13 different species of finches that Darwin had collected from the Galápagos Islands. The observation was that the species from the Galápagos Islands were different from due to the beak size and shape. Another difference with the beaks was the differences in the finch’s diets from the different foods. He then concluded when the original finches South American islands, they separated into different areas where they had to adapt change of conditions of areas. After many generations, the finches had to change anatomically to survive to reproduce. The observation was seen verified by long field hour and research in the 20th …show more content…
People think "the fittest" refers to someone who is bigger, stronger than most or even more smart or the most cunning people. It is not always the true all the time. The perspective the comes from a evolutionary point a view it that, ones that simply have the traits that allow them to survive and reproduce that survive and reproduce. The reality is that they might be small and weak, not even smart. What makes an a species fit is combination of traits that can develop in the environment it is in. With the different finches, that Darwin found on Galápagos Island, their ability to adapt and evolve to their environment were key for their survival.
Darwin did not have the personal belief that evolution had an advanced path. He believed that evolution happens as a result of natural selection as a result of chance that has a major role. Darwin’s explanation that luck with any individuals within a population that have variations will allow survival and reproduction. If there were no variations in the population, the species itself would go extinct because the species will not be able to adapt to the change in the
