When the eminent naturalist Charles Darwin returned from South America on board the HMS Beagle in 1836; he brought with him the notes and evidence which would form the basis of his landmark theory of evolution of species by a process of natural selection. This theory; published as The Origin of Species in 1859; sparked a fierce scientific; religious; and philosophical debate which continues heatedly today. This seminal work is presented with The Voyage of the Beagle; a vivid travel memoir as well as a detailed scientific field journal. Ordered by place; covering area from Northern Chile to Australia to Cape Verde Islands; this text contains hints of the theories that were later developed in The Origin of Species.
