Charles Darwin’s Voyage of Discovery
Charles Darwin Joined a five year expedition on a voyage ship the HMS beagle. While on this voyage Darwin started developing his theory on evolution by natural selection. On the voyage, Darwin read Charles Lyell’s ‘Principles of Geology’ which suggested that the fossils found in rocks were evidence of animals that had lived many thousands or millions of years ago. https://kaiserscience.wordpress.com/biology-the-living-environment/evolution/charles-darwins-voyage-of-discovery/ -
Return from the voyage.
Charles Darwin returned home and kept in touch with John Henslow, sending him notes regularly about his geological work on the expedition. Henslow put these notes together into a 31 page pamphlet. Henslow distributed to Cambridge’s scientific community and showed paleontologists fossils Darwin had found on the voyage. Darwin established that the South American continent is gradually rising from the ocean.

The Origin of Species
One of the most influential books in history, "the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" was published. His book was delayed about 10 years due to continuous finding but was completed when Alfred Russel Wallace, who was working in the same general field sent Darwin a copy of his book that he was working on. Darwin continued to revise his book through six editions and came out with another book in 1871.
