    In the essay “Darwin’s Middle Road”, Stephen Jay Gould describes Darwin’s process on his theory of natural selection. Gould describes the process of scientific creativity with inductivism and eurekaism. Darwin’s thought process also incorporates Frye’s three levels of the human mind. Darwin begins his thought process aboard the Beagle. During these five years, Darwin makes observations of the bones of giant South American fossil mammals. He focuses on the turtles and finches of the Galapagos. According to Gould he mentions “The first ̶ inductivism ̶ held that great scientists are primarily great observers and patient accumulators of information. For new and significant theory, the inductivists claimed, can only arise from a firm foundation of facts.” (Gould 1018). Darwin uses his consciousness and awareness; to identify and give qualities to the turtles and finches. Darwin builds his foundation of facts. Darwin transitions his thinking process to social participation. Darwin takes his facts on finches and brings them into human shape. Darwin begins researching and studying the nature of the finches. Darwin uses social participation to contribute to science. Inductivism corresponds to the first and second levels of the human mind. In addition, Darwin uses the third level of the human mind to create his theory. Darwin’s theory is survival of the fittest through natural selection. Darwin experiences…

    Charles Darwin, a geologist in the United Kingdom, traveled by ship called H.M.S. Beagle around the world in five years from 1831 so that he would survey the Pacific Coast of South America. When he called at the Galápagos Island, he realized that even though in the same species, they changed their figure according to their environment for a long time. Moreover, Charles Darwin supposed that all creatures were a natural part of the evolutionary process. Galápagos iguana is a good example of this supposition. There are three types of iguanas, namely land, marine and black and white in the Galápagos Island. Now I would like to mention two differences and similarities between the three kinds of Galápagos iguana.…

    This same issue was observed by Darwin and with the finches of the Galápagos Islands, led to his discovery. The Grants observed how variability itself can also be different species to species. They decided that Darwin's “hypervariable finches, despite their secluded home, might have well been the key to a crucial breakthrough in our knowledge of evolution. Soon they started to collect measurements on twenty-one different kinds of finches that they found on seven islands. The potential in their project became apparent in such a short amount of time. Their measurements and mathematical analysis that were allowed by modern technology exposed a rate of variability in species, which remained unknown by scientists until…
