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.
