Galapagos islands

Darwin was a naturalist aboard the HMS Beagle on its voyage to the Galapagos Islands off the western coast of South America in 1831(?). Darwin studied the plants and animals of the islands and came to the conclusion that the principal mechanism for the creation of new species was "natural selection". Darwin knew his conclusions would be controversial and he did not publish them until 1859 when another naturalist named Wallace was about to pubish his ideas which were about the same as Darwin's.
