Charles Darwin's Journey: Observation, Records, and Specimen Collections
As we explore Camp, we need to observe who lives here and what their life is like to make sure we don’t disturb it too much. A great way to do this would be to build our own field guide for what we see at camp. I made an example page here.
I’d like us to study Charles Darwin and see what we can learn from his method of studying, identifying, and collecting flora and fauna. Let’s start with a little history:

- Let’s add Darwin to our World History Timeline.

Charles Darwin was born in 1809 and would leave on his voyage in 1831 at the age of 22.
He would take ship on the HMS Beagle and the voyage would be at least partially funded by his father.

When Charles Darwin returned home he would write about his discoveries and theories about evolution and would publish the culmination of his works in 1859 in the book The Origins of Species.
His work would become the foundation for all modern evolutionary theory and science.
