What animals did Darwin did discover?
tortiose and finch.(Galapagos Islands
What did Charles Darwin do in the Galapagos island?
He observed and recorded the native wild-life including finches, tortuses, marine and land iguanas. Surprisingly, Darwin also spent quite a lot of time shooting. He also took quite a lot of giant tortoises back on board the beagle to be used as food during the long return voyage ahead. Remember that he didn't formulate his thoughts on evolution until much later in life. Whilst he was actually in the Galapagos, he was there as a naturalist. A Victorian British naturalist whose methods nowadays would be considered disruptive and destructive. That's a reflection on the cultural and scientific norms of the time and not a personal slight on Darwin.
Why did Charles Dickens die whilst writing the book The Mystery of Edwin Drood?
Charles Dickens suffered of a stroke.
What are real life examples of Darwin's theory of evolution?
An example of this theory can be seen in the Galápagos Islands. The Galápagaos are 16 islands off the coast of South America that Charles observed in 1835. These islands, we now know, were formed 4 million years ago from volcanic activity and had no life on them. Therefore, any animal living there now must have either flown or drifted to the islands. One species thriving in the Galapagos is the Marine Iguana, the only sea going Iguana (a type of lizard) in the world. So, if it is known that the Galápagos were initially empty, "Where did this Iguana come from?" Darwin asked. Other reptiles came to the Galapagos Islands like the Yellow Land Iguana from South America. Reptiles such as these, being able to survive for long periods of time without food or water, could have drifted to the Galápagos on driftwood or bark. Suppose the land Iguana had no food, due to overpopulation, and was forced to feed in the shallow waters on seaweed, small fish and molluscs. If one Iguana could swim better and could hold onto rocks better than others, even slightly, it would get more food and become stronger and healthier. It would therefore win more mates and reproduce more whilst its other brothers and sisters die from starvation. Later generations from this Iguana inherit and refine this talent and will survive and reproduce. Now, there are more of these skilled Iguanas who can also gather food from the sea. Thousands of generations later, with these traits selected, we end up with a new species, the Marine Iguana, which now far outnumbers the Land Iguana.

Does Odysseus meet the cyclops before or after he lands on the islands of phaeacia?
Before. He recalls meeting the cyclops whilst on Phaeacia.
Five5difference between volcanic and limestone island?
Volcanic islands have black sand beaches whilst Limestone (coral) islands have white sand beaches.Volcanic islands have fertile soil and in Limestone islands' is not as fertile as Volcanic islands.Volcanic islands tend to be tall whilst Limestone tend to be flat.Volcanic islands have many sulphur springs whilst Limestone islands have little or no sulpher springs.Limestone islands are formed from 'Secretions'of the sea and Volcanic islands are formed from igneous rock and lava.THANK YOUHOPE YOU LEARNED FROM IT!
What is the chance of a recurrence of Cyclone Tracy?
Whilst there is a high chance of Darwin being hit by another "Cyclone Tracy", it would not affect the city in the same way. Darwin was rebuilt to be more cyclone-proof, and so fewer buildings would be damaged, and there would probably be fewer deaths.
Is there botox available in the Cook Islands?
The people that live in the Cook Islands are generally beautiful. Naturally. Everyone visiting the islands is surrounded by their special aura and becomes irresistible themselves. If you feel you need to enhance your beauty whilst staying in the Cooks, just drink or bath in Noni juice!
Where were the ANZACS in the Darwin bombings?
The two events are entirely unrelated. The ANZACs were the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps who fought in World War I. The Darwin bombings were in World War II. Whilst some of the ANZACs had survived to fight again in WWII, they were not called the ANZACs then.
What is Charles Wilson famous for?
Charles Wilson was an American politician, who was famous for starting Operation Cyclone, which was the codename of the CIA operation which supplied the Afghan Mujahideen with weapons, whilst they were fighting the Soviets during the Soviet war in Afghanistan.
What were Charles Darwin's other jobs?
Briefly(!), Darwin's life was dominated by two events; his voyage around the world on the Beagle and the publication of the Origin of the Species. During the voyage on the Beagle, Darwin was able to see for himself the effects of small changes over long periods of time. For example, there was an earthquake whilst he was in South America and the land rose by a few feet. He also found fossil seashells on the peaks of the Andes. He realised that over millions of years with thousands of earthquakes, what was once under the sea will, eventually become mountains. His key idea was to apply this kind of insight to how life developed over long periods of time. This was made clear for him during his visit to the Galapados islands which, he realised, were formed relatively recently and that life arrived on "rafts" of vegetation from the Amazon or by air. Limited environments, such as islands, have produced giants (as with the tortoises), flightless birds, marine lizards and specialised adaptions as with Darwin's finches' beaks. It was asking the question, "How did a single finch species become several specialised species?" that led to the theory of evolution. The theory was published in The Origin of the Species. The book is a beautifully written, well argued logical argument with a wealth of evidence that could be tested by other workers. The book was a Victorian bestseller and Darwin became one of the most well-known scientists of his age. Darwin was not formally trained in Natural History; his degree was in theology. So to prove his credentials he spent a number of years studying whelks, become an authority on them. He also became an expert on earthworms, explaining how soil was moved by them.
