The Beagle was chartered for a five-year mapping and collecting expedition to South America and the South Pacific. Darwin's job as ship naturalist was to collect specimens, make observations, and keep careful records of anything he observed that he thought significant. At the beginning of the voyage Darwin read a geology book given to him by Henslow. This book, Principles of Geology by Charles Lyell, spurred his interest in the study of land forms.

Charles Darwin sailed from Plymouth on the 27 December 1831 on a journey that was to take him many thousands of miles. He sailed in a ship called the Beagle. The Beagle was not a big ship, it was only about 28 metres long and had to be home to 74 people for the whole voyage.

Darwin took with him a copy of the bible and books by Milton, Humboldt as well as a copy of Lyell's first volume on Principles Of Geology. He also took binoculars, a geological magnifying glass and jars of spirit for preserving specimens.For many of the early weeks at sea, Darwin was extremely sea-sick and could eat nothing but raisins. When they landed at Cape Verde he began to feel better, as he was able to go ashore and start noting, collecting, recording and observing the bird life, the natives, the plants and the landscape.

at any time of evolution, lot of species are present on earth

these species fight each other for food & space

the species which adapt to their surroundings, exist

the most fit species survive

the nature by itself selects the species that would survive & others would extinct
