Description
Darwin is best known for his “survival of the fittest” theory, developed in the mid-1800’s. He traveled the world for five years as the Naturalist on the British ship, the Beagle. Its primary mission was to improve the maps being used by the Navy. “Transmutation,” as it was called then, was a radical concept counter to creationism. His theory that creatures were not each made at a specific time, but rather, they evolved to best suit their environment revolutionized biologic science.
