The Voyage of the Beagle

*The Voyage of the Beagle* refers to the journey undertaken by the HMS Beagle from 1831 to 1836, during which Charles Darwin served as the ship's naturalist. This expedition took the ship to various locations, including the Galápagos Islands, where Darwin observed diverse species. His findings contributed significantly to his theory of evolution through natural selection, which he later published in *On the Origin of Species*. The voyage was pivotal in shaping our understanding of biology and the development of the theory of evolution, influencing science and philosophy for generations to come.
