1. Darwin’s love of the outdoors, curiosity thirst for knowledge of new things, and his studying of the writings of naturalists like Alexander Von Humbolt, helped prepare him for his voyage on The Beagle.
2. Darwin saw trees in unusal locations, coral growing at strange altitudes and a myriad of other phenomena which led him to his first original theory: and that was that perhaps the coral was not sitting or moving upward, but instead it was just continuing to grow and, in actuality, the land was sinking.
3. When Charles Darwin compared what was thought to be the same species of birds and also of reptiles, (tortoises, iguanas, etc), he discovered that while similar, depending on where the animal had originated, had a huge impact on certain features and traits the animals displayed. It became evident to him\ that the animals were adapting to their environment. …show more content…
Thomas Malthus’s idea revolved around the notion that disease, famine, and death, served as a sort of checks and balances for the growth of any given population. Darwin took it a step theory in suggesting that, because of this being true, the strongest will survive and possibly develop into a new species. This became his “species theory”.
5. Darwin delayed publication of his “species theory” because he felt like it would be professional suicide to profess these things knowing thatthey completely contradicted the doctrine of special
