  3. Finches on Galapagos Islands Darwin: “I never dreamed that islands, about fifty or sixty miles apart, and most them in sight of each other, formed of precisely the same rocks, placed under a quite similar climate, rising to a nearly equal height, would have been differently tenanted; but we shall soon see that this is the case.” Jonathan Clements, Darwin’s Notebook: The Life, Times, and Discoveries of Charles Robert Darwin (London: Quid Publishing, 2009), 50.

  4. “The most curious fact is the perfect gradation in the size of the beaks in the different species of Geospiza, from one as large as that of a hawfinch to that of a chaffinch… there are no less than six species with insensibly graduated beaks… Seeing this gradation and diversity of structure in one small, intimately related group of birds, one might really fancy that from an original paucity of birds in this archipelago, one species had been taken and modified for different ends.” Jonathan Clements, Darwin’s Notebook: The Life, Times, and Discoveries of Charles Robert Darwin (London: Quid Publishing, 2009), 65.

  11. Social/Historical Relevance • Darwin’s life and writings were primary sources for the study of the 19th century. • Science was very popular at this time in western societies. • More practical at that time than during Scientific Revolution because of the influence of the Industrial Revolution.

  12. 19th Century Scientific Advances • Electron • Compound microscope • Pasteurization • Thermodynamics • Periodic table • [Zipper patent, paper clip]
