To serve as the ship's naturalist
Charles Darwin went on a five year trip on the HMS Beagle ship. He set off in 1831 and returned in 1836 after making many discoveries
Charles Darwin was selected to sail on the HMS Beagle primarily due to his connection with Captain Robert FitzRoy, who was in charge of the expedition. FitzRoy sought a companion with scientific interests to accompany him on the voyage, and Darwin’s background in natural history made him an ideal choice. Additionally, Darwin was recommended by his mentor, John Stevens Henslow, a botanist who recognized Darwin's potential as a naturalist. Ultimately, this opportunity allowed Darwin to gather crucial observations that would later shape his theory of evolution.
Charles Darwin arrived at the Galápagos Islands on September 15, 1835, during the HMS Beagle's second voyage. The journey from England to the Galápagos took approximately four years, as the Beagle set sail in 1831, but the specific travel time to the islands from South America was only a few weeks. Darwin's experiences there significantly influenced his theories on evolution and natural selection.
