About This Novel
In December 1831, Charles Darwin boarded the British naval ship HMS Beagle as "captain's companion" and began a five-year scientific expedition. This voyage is known as one of the most important voyages in human history. It was during this process that Darwin's "biological evolution" thought was born. In five years, Darwin crossed the Atlantic four times, visited the South American continent and surrounding islands, went deep into the South Pacific, and went to the Indian Ocean. He made detailed observations and records of various organisms, geological phenomena, folk customs, and local political systems along the way, and brought back a large number of precious specimens. During this voyage, Darwin began to think about the distribution and evolution of species, and the prototype of the theory of evolution was vaguely discernible. In a sense, "The Voyage of the Beagle" can be regarded as the preparation and foundation for "The Origin of Species", no wonder Darwin called it his "first academic child". During the voyage, Darwin fully revealed his profound philosophical thinking and profound literary skills. This makes "The Voyage of the Beagle" not only scientific but also literary, making it fascinating to read.
