The voyage of discovery around the world the British ship HMS Beagle lasted five years. On board was the young scientist Charles Darwin, invited by Captain FitzRoy to help in the geological and topographic. In the course of the expedition Darwin did research in many places, but none were as significant as the study of species of fauna of the Galapagos Islands. And little could think of Darwin that his short stay in the archipelago, September and October 1835, should lead to a change so radical in their ideas and upset all hitherto existing theories about the permanence of species.
