Darwin joined the Beagle as the ship's naturalist.

On the voyage, Darwin documented his journey and made discoveries which lead to the modern theory of natural selection. One of his most important discoveries was at the Galapagos Islands. He determined that the finches on the different islands were of the same species but developed different beaks depending on the type of island they were on and the other conditions.
