The Voyage Of The Beagle

Arka Kapak Yazısı: The Voyage of the Beagle is a book written by Charles Darwin and
published in 1839.
The Beagle sailed from Plymouth Sound on 27 December 1831 under the command of Captain
Robert FitzRoy. While the expedition was originally planned to last two years, it lasted almost five.

Darwin spent most of this time exploring on land. The book is a vivid travel memoir as well as a
detailed scientific field journal covering biology, geology, and anthropology that demonstrates
Darwin's keen powers of observation, written at a time when Western Europeans were exploring
and charting the whole world.
Darwin's notes made during the voyage include comments hinting at his changing views on the
fixity of species. On his return, he wrote the book based on these notes, at a time when he was
first developing his theories of evolution through common descent and natural selection. The
book includes some suggestions of his ideas.
