Charles Darwin - The Voyage of the Beagle - Extra History

📜 Charles Darwin: The Voyage of the Beagle -The 1830s were an exciting time for science. All throughout Europe, there was a great movement to explore, map, and classify the world. And it was this expanding world that young Charles Darwin graduated into… albeit with the wrong degree. Because although he would one day be known as “the Father of Modern Biology,” Darwin’s father was set on his son following in his footsteps—as a doctor.

Also without Darwin we wouldn't have Pokemon and honestly isn't that the most significant of his contributions? Absolutely.

As A geologist I can say that during geology fieldtrips alcohol consumption is high enough to count as a "party"

As a chilean i’m super happy our country features “relevantly” in Darwin’s investigations, and in turn, he had a huge impact on our country’s knowledge of our endemic species. While passing through Chile, he was able to identify and study a ton species that were previously unknown to us. A lot of foxes and frogs are named after Charles Darwin here, because he did field research that no one else at the time had done in a country as small and irrelevant as ours.
Sorry i’m rambling. I’m just always happy when Chile gets mentioned somewhere,
Maybe you could consider doing an extra history series about Chile?

Pretty uplifting to know that Darwin was such a nice person considering the time he lived in.

Young Charles Darwin dropped out of medical school in order to study his real passions.





This angered his father, who punished him severly.

Wait... Did Zoey pull this same trick on you twice!?

Can we please get an extra history on Alexander von Humboldt? He was a massive influence to Charles Darwin and even had a connection to Simon Bolivar.
Alexander von Humboldt deserves much more recognition then he receives in our understanding of the natural world.

I'd love to see a whole series on the history of evolutionary theory and classification, starting with Carolus Linnaeus and ending with modern phylogeny-based cladistics.

This taught me more than my middle school bio class about Charles darwin.

I’m a huge fan of biology and I love that we chose to cover Darwin, he’s a personal hero of mine. Especially that he managed to make a career for himself doing what he loves.

Truly, the knowledge we see today is only possible by standing on the shoulders of giants. Charles Darwin is one of them.

[roelofsonneveld]

Just as we’re learning about darwin in school! Perfect timing!

[AlexYorim]

Can I say Darwin's sideburns are evolutionary?

[brycevo]

Darwin is such an important figure, and I am really glad you're covering this

Darwin, clearing his throat and getting closer to the mic: racism is bad my dudes
Crowd gasps in shock, someone faints, some boo him, crying can be heard
Darwin: I said what I said

I recommend reading "The Voyage of the Beagle", Darwin's book about this journey, if you are intrigued by this video. It's a beautiful book in its own right, all about a young man's quest to navigate his way through the world while on a marvelous adventure, and Darwin's awe and passion at discovering the hidden wonders of life ooze from its pages, as does his sense for justice and insatiable drive to acquire knowledge.

Learning about the history of science is always vital - but it's not taught anywhere near enough in schools. Good work, EH - as always!!

Darwin actually did believe in God, and at his most non believer point, considered himself most as agnostic. He saw evolution and adaptation as God working his way through the laws of nature
