"Darwin contributed a geological introduction to Part I the Fossil Mammalia pp. 3-12 and a geographical introduction to Part II the Mammalia pp. i-iv." Freeman p 26. In 1832 Captain Robert Fitzroy of the Royal British Navy undertook a five-year circumnavigation of the earth. Fitzroy who was only twenty-seven at the time asked a young Charles Darwin to be the naturalist for the voyage. The five-year journey included passing the coastlines of South America and particularly the Galapagos Islands near Ecuador. Darwin collected numerous specimens and data from this now famous area and these became the basis for his theory of natural selection which was a key component in his masterful theory of evolution. "The lavish scientific record of Darwin's collecting endeavours during the five-year voyage of the Beagle originally issued in 19 numbers. The 166 plates 82 finely hand-colouredof the complete works were due to the tireless energy and flair which the relatively untrained ship's scientist put first into the collection of specimens and then into ensuring that the zoological specialists duly reported on them after his return. The cost of the plates was covered by a treasury grant of one thousand pounds but to complete the work for Smith and Elder who were publishers of large illustrated books and government publications Darwin had to persevere as steadily with his pen as with his gun and geological hammer turning himself into a considerable authority during the course of five years spent editing the work of others." Christies "He superintended the Zoology's text wrote introductions for the different parts and added notes from his various Beagle records about animal behaviour and habitats wherever appropriate while also supervising the printers proofreading the sheets arranging artists for the plates chivying the experts and keeping them all moving forward within a tight self-imposed budget" Janet Browne Charles Darwin: Voyaging 2003 p. 370.

The recognition that constant change is the order of the universe had been finally established and a vast step forward in the uniformity of nature had been taken" PMM 344. "The publication of the Origin of Species ushered in a new era in our thinking about the nature of man. The intellectual revolution it caused and the impact it had on man's concept of himself and the world were greater than those caused by the works of Copernicus Newton and the great physicists of more recent times. Every modern discussion of man's future the population explosion the struggle for existence the purpose of man and the universe and man's place in nature rests on Darwin" Mayr.
