Charles Darwin's Influence On Evolution

Math Darwin, again, is very famous, or infamous, for his studies on finches. First he noted on the differences on the sizes of the birds. Their size accounts for certain elements that occur in nature. For instance, concerning islands (and how effective of an example they are) they have different habitats to live in. Certain islands have bigger predators, others have smaller or no predators at all. In island 1 the finch lives with the more predators, and therefore could grow larger than the predators or smaller in an attempt to hide. But and area with none would most certainly make them bigger. Also the availability of food could play a huge factor in the sizes of finches. Less food, smaller body. The same is for the opposite, More food, larger
Throughout his travels” he took many notes upon his own life and adventures, specifically when he voyaged on the HMS Beagle. He compiled this into what today is known as the Red and Transmutation notebooks. This led to the creation of less well known pieces of literature, used for Darwins eyes only. Both researches lead him to finishing his theory and writing the Origin of Species. Darwin wrote first the Red notebook, officially notebook “A.” This notebook focused on his voyage on the Beagle and, mostly, the geography of the places he visited. This was the main focus of the book, and had very little to do with his upcoming theory. However, there are small sections where he notes the relation between Rheas in the same country. “Should urge that extinct llama owned its death not to change of circumstances; reversed argument. knowing it to be a desert. Tempted to believe animals created for a definite time: -- not extinguished by changed
However, even though he has been given much credit for his studies, he is still the most attacked and criticised scientist in the history of the modern age. “Loved by his family, appreciated and admired by his friends, an intellectual beacon to many, in turn respected and reviled, Darwin came to the end of his life knowing that he had brought about an extraordinary transformation in scientific thought. His identity had become subsumed in that of his book. ‘If I had been a friend of myself, I should have hated me,’ he remarked with some humour to Huxley at the height of the controversy” (Browne 117). His research brought about new ideas of origin, from animal to human, and has opened the path of research for new forms of life. His great works of literature have conveyed a strange, but fascinating, new light on the world. When animals enter into or are forced to a new environment, or run out of a certain resources, they must adopt, or change, to the new habitat in which they live, else they leave, or perish. Throughout his life he studied, sometimes without notice, the new ideas, from his books and notes, that would shape the future of science into something new, and the world would never be seen the same again. That is the legacy of Charles
