Charles Darwin
• Darwin was 22 years old when he set sail on the British ship HMS Beagle in 1831.
• A naturalist on the ship. (someone who studies the natural world).
• Observed many types of plants and animals and wondered why they were so different from the plants and animals in England.
• Led to the theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.

Darwin’s Observations
• Included…
• Diversity of living things, remains of ancient organisms, and characteristics of organisms on the Galapagos Islands.

Diversity and Fossils
• Darwin Noticed that animals were diverse and that they adapted to the environment in which they lived in.
• Fossil- preserved remains or traces of an organism that lived in the past.

Galapagos Organisms
• Many similarities were found between the Galapagos Organisms and the South American Organisms. (plants and animals)
• There are differences too. • Ex. Galapagos iguanas have longer claws
than South American.
> This is so they can grip on the slippery rocks on the cost.

Adaptations
• Finches beaks varied between islands.
• Some had narrow beaks for eating insects
• Others had wide beaks for eating seeds.
• Adaptation: trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce.

Evolution
• When animals arrived on the Galapagos Islands they had to adapt to new conditions and environment.
• The species gradually changed over many generations.

Natural Selection
• Darwin’s Book “the Origin of Species” proposed that evolution occurs by means of natural selection.
• Natural Selection: process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than other members of the same species.

Natural Selection with turtles
• Overproduction: Turtles lay many eggs, not all of the young survive.
• Variation: each turtle has slightly different traits. • Competition: turtles compete with one another. A
faster turtle may escape a predator. • Selection: variation such as speed make some
turtles better able to survive in their environment. • Survival and Reproduction: only few turtles
survive long enough to reproduce. The offspring may inherit the favorable traits of the parents.
