Charles Darwin s The Hms Beagle And His Exploration...

Today was the day. Today was the day I would finally get all my answers on the theory of evolution, from the master himself, or should I say â€Å"father†. As I opened the door, a mysterious old figure stood with a tortoise by his side: it was Charles Darwin. Quickly and eagerly he went into the dining room and eagerly cried, â€Å"Guys!

As we all know, Darwin has never been the type to enforce rules, and plus charting coastlines is just the most boring job a person can do. As well as charting, he shared his strange fascination on his observations of how the characteristics of plants and animals suits only specific environments in South America. He explained how plants and animals in similar geographic and climate zones have a similar resemblance. With great enthusiasm, Charles addressed my half brother and wife saying, â€Å"Tom Bradey, 3 time MVP and 4 time super bowl winner, oh and the beautiful Vanessa Hudgens- Ramolia!† You must see how my observations and these fossils have similarShow MoreRelatedHow Information Is Transmitted Over Time2059 Words   |  9 PagesAt its simplest evolution is how information is transmitted over time. Although Charles Darwin did not know about modern genetics with DNA and chromosomes, he did know that organisms resemble their parents, variation in a single species is able to be inherited, and that as there is change in population survival of the fittest will allow only the superio r organism to pass its dominance on.(Eldridge 69) Darwin discovered many theories, such as natural selection and the descent of man from a commonRead MoreDr. Charles.

He stated that all species have descended over time from common ancestors. With his joint publication with Alfred Russell Wallace he introduced the process called natural selection. Darwin published his theory of evolution in 1859 with a book, On the Origin of Species; many people rejected his idea of natural selection and his theory of evolution.
