During Charles Darwin's voyage on the beagle many of Darwins observations were made where?
on the galapagos islands
Why were the Galapagos islands so important to Darwin's observations?
During Darwins visit to the Galapagos island he observed that these islands had many unique organisms, most of which were similar to but different from the plants and animals from the nearest mainland.... thus this indicated how population evolved. Darwin called this "descent with modification" meaning an ancestral species could diversify into many descendant species by the accumulation of adaptation to various environment. His observation described the theory of evolution.
What were Darwins Discoveries?
He discovered that plants and animals with the most suitable conditions in an area are the most likely to survive. This is called natural selection.
Darwins observation of overproduction in a species was that what?
While living organisms tend to overprodue, the population still remains stable over time and across generations. therefore, there is competition, and success in competition is due to variability. Competition and variability together function to select the most adaptive characteristic, giving us natural selection
Who were Darwins supporters in this scientific debate?
About 99.9% of all educated scientists. The field of biology could no longer progress without the understanding of evolution via natural selection.
How did the idea of artificial selection contributed to Darwins ideas on natural selection?
