It is one of the few places in the world that portray in such a specific way the process of evolution and adaptation of each species. This place gave humanity the key to better understand the origin and development of life. For this reason, the <\/span><b>Galapagos Islands<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> received the pseudonym \"laboratory of evolution\", a theory developed by the scientist <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Charles_Darwin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Charles Darwin<\/a> in his book <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/On_the_Origin_of_Species\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Origin of Species.<\/a><\/span>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Darwin\u00b4s trip<\/strong><\/p>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charles Robert Darwin arrived in the <\/span><b>Galapagos Islands<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 1831 aboard the Beagle. The scientist had the opportunity to explore many destinations in South America and certify it in Journal and Remarks, a book inspired mainly by the <\/span><b>Galapagos Islands<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The purpose of this exploration was to reinforce his idea of \u200b\u200bcreationism, at a time when most scientists believed that the existence and adaptation of each organism was the work of God. His trip, fortunately, met all his expectations.<\/span>\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-248 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/darwin3jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>The Journal of Researches<\/b><\/p>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his book the <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com.ec\/books?hl=es&amp;lr=&amp;id=MhsHaI3YlIMC&amp;oi=fnd&amp;pg=PA17&amp;dq=Journal+of+Researches&amp;ots=DsfXuvSa-A&amp;sig=xuYu015SnVlm8mBCKIxcQ_9JTDo#v=onepage&amp;q=Journal%20of%20Researches&amp;f=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Journal of Researches<\/a> in the Natural History and Geology, Darwin wrote that the Galapagos wildlife was very similar to what he had found on the South American continent. However, in later editions, his point of view had changed, which was the seed of his theory of evolutionism.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people don't know the real reason why Darwin was inspired by the Galapagos Islands. It is not only the biodiversity of the Islands that made him develop the theory of evolutionism, but the archipelago also hides a particular fact that only occurs in this place. There are over 18 different islands and the species per island vary, such as the different types of finches that could be found there. That inspired the idea of \u200b\u200bnatural selection.<\/span>\n\n<img class=\"wp-image-245 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/darwin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>\u200b\u200bNatural selection<\/b><\/p>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Natural_selection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Natural selection<\/a>, as Darwin explained, is the path by which species change over time to better adapt to the environment and conditions. In other words, the same finch that lives on one island and on another evolves differently depending on the environment.<\/span>\n\n[grwebform url=\"https:\/\/app.getresponse.com\/view_webform_v2.js?u=wn6KX&amp;webforms_id=55181204\" css=\"on\" center=\"off\" center_margin=\"200\"\/]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Galapagos Islands in our times\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our times, the<\/span><b> Galapagos Islands<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> remain one of the most unique, scientifically important, and biologically prominent corners of the Earth.

The <\/span><b>Galapagos Islands<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the most interesting places in the world for ecologists and biologists because, In limited and small areas such as islands, it is easier to study and understand the relationships and dynamics between species populations, their adaptation, and evolution.<\/span>\n\n<img class=\"wp-image-247 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/darwin2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to know the <strong>Galapagos Islands<\/strong> is through cruise ships, like Darwin because it allows you to explore all corners of the archipelago and at its exotic animals.
