Question
Darwin went on the voyage in which ship?
- HMS Victory
- Santa Maria
- HMS Beagle
- RMS Titanic
Hint:
Charles Darwin set sail on the ship HMS Beagle on December 27, 1831, from Plymouth, England. Darwin was 22 years old when he was hired to be the ship's naturalist. Most of the trip was spent sailing around South America. There Darwin spent considerable time ashore collecting plants and animals.
The correct answer is: HMS Beagle
- A rather unmotivated and failing medical scholar, Charles Darwin accompanied Captain Robert Fitzroy as a travel companion and naturalist on the HMS Beagle. His book The Voyage of the Beagle is an account of his worldwide journey.
- When setting off from England in 1831 for a five-year voyage, Darwin had little ambitions for groundbreaking scientific research. After surveying the coasts of South America, the ship stopped over in the Galapagos Islands.
- During his visit to the islands, Darwin noted that the unique creatures were similar from island to island, but perfectly adapted to their environments which led him to ponder the origin of the island's inhabitants
- Among those that struck Darwin so greatly were the finches that are now named in his honor. Darwin would later base some of his thought on the supposing that these finches were all descendants of the same lineage.
- Years later in 1859, Darwin finally consolidated all of his observations into his famous book On The Origin of Species, drastically and controversially altering the scientific view on the biological origins of life.
