PBS Evolution

what a stroke of luck! the HMS beagle was the perfect opportunity at the perfect time for young Darwin to launch his career. As the ships naturalist he got the chance of a lifetime to explore such fantastic biological wonders as the Galapagos Islands and the whole of the south pacific! i loved the videos from PBS and felt a real connection to Darwin as a young naturalist exploring the world for science. the sheer amount of specimens collected and sent back to England is remarkable. I think this was his greatest adventure which led to his groundbreaking theory. The origin of species.
