CHARLES DARWIN
I began my research on the HMS
My name is Charles
Darwin and this is the
story of me that
contributed to the
theory of evolution.
I used these patterns to develop a
hypothesis about how species of
animals change over time, .
I did detailed drawings of the animals
Beagle in 1831. My most famous work
was done in the Galápagos Islands.
A wrote down my ideas in a book
called Origin of the Species, but a lot
more evidence was required before
the theory of evolution was formed.
I saw during my travels, and I began
to notice some patterns over time.
Over time, evidence supporting his
theory grew significantly.
Darwin’s theory, known as natural
selection, believed that organisms
possessed variation (each individual
was slightly different from one
another), and these variations led to
some being more likely to survive
and reproduce than others.
Therefore, features that made an
organism more likely to survive or
reproduce are more likely to appear
to each generation.

and gradually lengthen their
necks. These giraffes would
then have offspring with slightly
longer necks. Lamarck stated
the following two laws.

Unlike, Darwin believed that

individuals were simply born
with different traits and that
these differences were mostly
random, Lamarck, said that
traits could develop and
change during an animal's
lifetime, which we know
Larmarck’s idea is incorrect.
