A
REVOLUTIONARY IDEA
Charles
Darwin was a young intelligent naturalist. In 1832 he embarked to South America
on the Beagle.
Darwin
was surprised during his visit to Brazil. In the Amazon jungle he discovered an
enormous variety of plants and animals; but more important, he discovered a
great number of varieties of the same species. He continued his voyage on the
beagle and reflected intensely on his discoveries.
The
differences suggested a revolutionary idea. Animals and plants suffer
modifications over many centuries, and the purpose of these changes was to
adapt to their habitat.
For
example, in the Galapagos Islands, some turtles had long necks to eat the
leaves of the trees; but in other habitats the long necks were not necessary
because there was sufficient vegetation o the ground.
From
these observations Darwin concluded that the different varieties and species
were not the result of direct creation. On
the contrary, all forms of life come from primitive, microscopic forms.
They suffered a long and complex evolution over many millions of years.
This
evolution produced the infinite variety of plants and animals of our modern
world.
