On the Origin of Species. This was published on November 24, 1859. This was after his trip around the world on the H.M.S. Beagle. Most of his information was collected on the Galapagos Islands which are off the cost of Ecuador. He was a naturalist on the ship but really was hired in reasons to keep the captain company. Back then these ships had to abide by the British Naval Doctrine which stated that the captain could not be socialized with. Henceforth, most of the time these captains would feel isolated and go insane. So, some captains brought their families along which lead to an even worse situation. So that's where Darwin came into play. However, Darwin didn't have to abide by the rules because he wasn't a member of the crew. Unfortunately, the captain ended up feeling isolated because Darwin and him didn't see eye to one most issues. This was because Darwin was more liberal while the captain was more of a conservative. Also, the other naturalist sent himself home for medical reasons from Brazil. This allowed Darwin ample time to collect plenty on information and data. These observations lead to his (currently) 8 observations and his book. The book contains two major themes which are survival of the fittest and struggle to survive. Essentially the trip took close to five years.
