Chapter 22 Natural selection: process in which organisms with certain inherited characteristics are more likely to survive and reproduce than are organisms with other characteristics Evolution: “descent with modification”; living species descend from ancestral species that differed from those that currently exist; change in genetic composition Taxonomy: a scientific discipline concerned with naming and classifying the diverse forms of life Fossils: preserved remains/impressions of an organism

The Beagle voyage is undoubtedly one of the the most vital scientific explorations in all of history. Charles Darwin‚ a naturalist from Shrewsbury‚ England was not the most intellectual individual in his time; however his observational skills and scientific initiative are what make him a revered scientific figure in modernization. His five year voyage aboard the HMS Beagle was intended to survey South America‚ the Pacific Ocean‚ and Australia. The information Darwin scrutinized during this expedition

The different environments impact the way of life for every species. Charles Darwin makes note in his Origin of Species that the Galapagos finches he found had different characteristics depending on the area that they lived in and food that was available. Humans are also highly affected by the surrounding physical environment. Just as the geography of each Greek polis shaped the way of life there‚ the region of Western Washington affects my hometown of Federal Way. The topography‚ climate‚ water

On this voyage‚ Darwin studied and collected information on various species from around the world‚ allowing him
