Best Answer

Charles Darwin started thinking about the variety of life and how it had come about when he was 22, and invited to join a voyage round the world on the H.M.S. Beagle, a ship responsible for travelling the globe and making maps of coastlines. The ship's captain, Robert FitzRoy, was a lonely man and wanted a friend for the trip to keep him company. The Beagle was to go all the way across the Atlantic to South America to draw maps of the coastline. They returned home via the Galapagos, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. It was when he was in the Galapagos Islands, and he observed the variations of finches on the different islands, that he started to think about the variety of life.
