This historical book includes the diaries of Charles Darwin about his journey that covered regions in South America, New Zealand, and Australia, during the voyage known as the Beagle voyage; named after the ship on which Darwin set sail in his long journey around the world. It was estimated to take two years, but it lasted five full years; starting in December 1831 and ending in October 1836. From the edges of South America and the Galápagos Islands to Australia and Tahiti, Darwin began studying geology, and ended up with information that would lead to his theory of evolution by natural selection. This journey holds a special place in the history of scientific exploration, and this book is based on Darwin's observations and viewpoints, which were characterized by accuracy, clarity, and diversity, making it a reference for both ordinary readers and specialists alike. During this trip, Darwin collected countless samples of various plants, animals, rocks, and soil from every region he visited for study, utilizing his initial knowledge of geology to present them to leading experts and scientists. He also met many human groups and provided a wonderful account of their origins, traditions, and strange customs. The book covers multiple scientific fields, such as anthropology, biology, and geology, making it a comprehensive scientific encyclopedia.
