Understanding Evolution: The Life and Legacy of Charles Darwin

Discover the extraordinary journey of Earth's evolution over 4 billion years, highlighted by the contributions of Charles Darwin, the pioneering naturalist aboard the HMS Beagle. Explore key concepts such as evolution, natural selection, biogeography, and adaptations. Understand how different species, like finches and tortoises from the Galapagos Islands, exemplify evolutionary principles. This examination of macroevolution, microevolution, and anatomical studies enhances our appreciation for life's diversity and the processes that drive change over time.
