production and by cutting the gene the beagle’s body could produce extra muscle.(The Telegraph) After the experiment was performed, the female dog showed physical difference.

Darwin was inspired to travel by Humboldt, but travel was ultimately less essential to him (Wulf, 2015). Darwin went on the expedition of the Beagle, but after that remained at home and was reclusive (Brown, 2002). He isolated himself and worked in his study for weeks to months at a time (Brown, 2002).

He discovered this by observing the creatures that lived on the Galapagos islands. Many other friends of his helped him along the way. His theory is important to all biologists and ecologists.
