In 1861 Charles embarked on a 5 year expedition on a ship called the H.M.S. Beagle where he sailed the complete circumference of South America. While on his expeditions Darwin read many books, some of these books sparked his curiosity. This curiosity led to him beginning his research on his big question, “where did we come from”. He also liked to collect all kinds of fossils and even live specimens, at one time he went as far as to take a fox off of Chole island. When he became a young man his father was pressing him to find a wife. He wasn’t sure who he liked till one day he went to his uncle’s estate and rekindled his childish love for his cousin Emma.

Charles and Emma moved to the country where they raised their kids.
