- He went to south America and South Pacific Galapagos Islands.
- H.M.S. Beagle
Her majesties ship.
Queen gave him the ship and money.
Collected organisms and made observations.
He(did) related how organisms change or adapt to their environment.
- Collected 13 similar, but separate species of finches(Bird)
Each has a distinctive bill for eating.
Their similarity suggested they had a common ancestor.
Offspring of original finches were adapting to different environments on the Galapagos Islands.
- Wrote a book " The Origin of Species"
1859
Darwin's Theories
- Decent With Modification
- All species descended from one or a few original types of life.
- Modification by Natural Selection
- Environment limits the growth of the population.
- Some organisms have traits that make them better able to cope with their environment.
- Organisms that have favorable traits tend to leave more off spring than organisms with less favorable traits.

Definition
- Similar species descend from or common ancestor.
- Species change by acquiring traits.
Example if a tail is not used by an organism it will eventually go away.
- Traits were acquired as a result of the organisms experience. Disproven
