At the end of 1831, a Royal Navy brig, HMS Beagle, sailed off on a five-year voyage. The purpose of this voyage was to create maps and navigation charts of South America and the Pacific. Included in the team was a young student, Charles Darwin (1809–1882), who was employed as the expedition’s natural scientist. His job was to study the various native animal and plant species on shore and on land. This book is an account of Darwin’s extraordinary human and scientific journey, which gave him the basis for his breakthrough theory of the evolution of species.
