An abstract is required. Evolutionary theories were first seen with the Greek philosophers who adhered to origination ideas, setting forth that all things originate from water or air and that all matters come from one central and guiding principle (Think Quest).&nbsp. Christianity and its teachings dominated medieval theories on evolution. Immanuel Kant set forth that all organisms come from a single source based on similar qualities of organisms.&nbsp. He further discussed that a chimpanzee may develop organs that he would use for walking and grasping objects, and from these organs, the structure of man may evolve and develop into a social culture (Think Quest).&nbsp. Carolus Linnaeus first believes in a fixed quality or nature of species. however, he soon found out that new species can be built from the original species with hybridization. He also considers hybridization as part of God’s plan.&nbsp.

Robert Fitzroy on a voyage in the HMS Beagle to survey Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, Chile, Peru, and the Pacific Islands.&nbsp. Charles Darwin was recommended to join this voyage, and he journeyed with the Beagle for five years (Vardiman).&nbsp. His tour of the Cape Verde Islands provided him a practical application of Charles Lyell Principles of Geology with his views of volcanoes and other geological formations.&nbsp. In his time, he was able to witness massive erosion downstream coming from glaciers.&nbsp. He then thought that the glaciers could not have been formed the way they did if the Bible’s explanations would be believed (Vardiman).&nbsp. He then considered truths on the grounds of Lyell and his doctrine of uniformitarianism.&nbsp. He saw his first tropical rain forest in Brazil and his first fossils in Argentina.&nbsp. He also saw the tribe of savage men in Tierra del Fuego. then, he experienced his first earthquake in Chile.&nbsp. He climbed mountains, he observed finches with varying beak lengths, and he traveled the Galapagos islands, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil, and then back to England (Vardiman).&nbsp.
