that time. During his journey, Darwin not only forcused on the characteristics and evolution of plants and animals, but also observed human activities among different regions, and triggered a lot of thinking about human society. In the chapter “Tierra Del Fuego”, Darwin make a close observation towards native Fuegians. Darwin found that Fuegians are actually savage, and they are barely human.

He is known for being an activist
Charles Darwin The famous naturalist Charles Darwin embarked on hundreds of miles of land excursions during the often-told story of the H. M. S. Beagle voyage, and on these trips, the most lasting visual impressions for Darwin are the Cordilleras Mountains, the Fuegian natives, and the Brazilian rainforests. The Beagle’s five-year world circumnavigation from 1831 to 1836 emphasized South America and so it is not so surprising the previously mentioned natural wonders had such important impact

Charles Darwin was one of the most influential people in history. He probably never imagined that his theory of evolution and natural selection would become one of the most important scientific theories in the history of the world. He probably never imagined that it would cause so much controversy over the way human beings came into existence either. Charles R. Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 in the town of Shrewsbury, England. He was born into a relatively wealthy family. He was the second

America is just about to change as well as the way you view Latin America. Latin America is rather large and kind of difficult to pin point since it starts from Mexico’s border with the United States of America all the way to a small island called Tierra del Fuego, but I can tell you that it’s south of the United States. Latin America also includes all of the Caribbean islands where almost all the countries are suffering of hunger and bad leadership. Brazil and Argentina are two of Latin America’s strongest
