As a young man, Charles Darwin sailed around the world aboard the HMS Beagle. The things he saw on that epic voyage made him realize that life changed over time, that living species today have descended from common ancestors in the past, and that something he called "natural selection" was the main driving force behind this change. Today Darwin's key insights permeate all of science and form the basis of modern biology.
Even today, exhibits all across the world are dedicated to honoring Darwin and teaching his ideas.
