Charles Darwin • Born February 12, 1809 in England • He was a naturalist and a geologist • Through his research, he contributed greatly to the theory of evolution • Much of his evolutionary studies were done on the Galapágos Islands due to the enormous diversity of species found there endemically.
Darwin • He took a voyage on a ship, the HMS Beagle • In 1859 he published the book On the Origin of Species. • By and large The Theory of Evolution is accepted as fact in the science world since the publication of his book.
Los animalesendémicos • Endémico=endemic, something found (indigenous) only in a particular place • Nativo=native, something indigenous to a particular place but also in other places. • The Galapagos Islands are home to some of the highest levels of endemism (species found nowhere else on earth) anywhere on the planet. • About 80% of the land birds you will see, 97% of the reptiles and land mammals, and more than 30% of the plants are endemic. • More than 20% of the marine species in Galapagos are found nowhere else on earth. Favorites include the giant Galapagos tortoise, marine iguana, flightless cormorant, and the Galapagos penguin—the only penguin species to be found in the Northern Hemisphere.
