The Voyage of the Beagle, a title…

The Voyage of the Beagle, a title commonly given to the book written by Charles Darwin and published in 1839 as his Journal and Remarks, brings him considerable fame and respect.

Darwin's Journal is a vivid and exciting travel memoir as well as a detailed scientific field journal covering biology, geology, and anthropology that demonstrates Darwin's keen powers of observation, written at a time when Western Europeans are still discovering and exploring much of the rest of the world.

Although Darwin had revisited some areas during the expedition, for clarity the chapters of the book are ordered by reference to places and locations rather than chronologically.

With hindsight, his notes and the book hint at ideas that Darwin will later develop into his theory of evolution by natural selection.
