Putting forward the concept that evolution and not God was responsible for the creation of human beings, Darwin shook society as we know it, to its very core. This book raised a number of important scientific questions and changed the way life was once viewed through the eyes of the church. 　　The best example of Darwins theory of evolution in action was explained based upon his research of the various finches found in the Galapagos. He noted that on each of the islands the finches were all slightly different from each other, with shorter or longer beaks, a different diet and fuller or less plumage. In honor of his research of these birds, the finches of the Galapagos are now known as Darwins finches。 　　第二篇 达尔文进化论 　　【机经回忆】 　　有一篇是讲达尔文进化理论的，说达尔文visited了一个岛(是一个chain型的岛)，然后通过观察物种，得出了自然选择的结论。文章最后说达尔文和另外一个人同时得出了这个结论，只是达尔文的有更多的数据(地理上的+生物上的)做支持。 　　【过往机经】 　　达尔文的进化论，他是在航行的时候发现的，有化石和现存的生物作为例子，但是他不敢发表好象是因为他觉得可靠的data 不够，同时有一个什么HC 人跟他一起发现了进化论，但是达尔文的得到了更多的认可。 　　【重点词汇解析】 　　Darwin 达尔文 　　Evolution Theory 进化论 　　Natural Selection 自然选择 　　Chain Island 岛链 　　Fossil 化石 　　Species 物种 　　Data 数据 　　【机经解析】 　　达尔文和加拉帕戈斯群岛 　　Darwin The Galapagos Islands 　　The tiny volcanic island chain of the Galapagos has played a huge role in the formation of Charles Darwins theory of evolution. Darwin visited the Galapagos aboard the HMS Beagle in 1835, as part of a five year navigational mission to chart the coast of South America for the British Royal Navy. Under the command of Captain Robert Fitzroy, the expedition was drawing to a close when the Beagle landed in the Galapagos on Isla San Cristobal.
