Text mentioning Darwin and his Galapagos journey.
Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was a human scientist who originated Earth's understanding of evolution during his study of natural biology. His work studying the naturally occurring lifeforms on the Galapagos Islands was considered to strongly support theories dealing with natural selection.
His work was mentioned in a exobiology textbook read by Elizabeth Cutler in 2151, regarding evolutions of termites observed on the planet Loracus Prime. (ENT: "Strange New World")
Jean-Luc Picard once noted that Darwin sailed aboard HMS Beagle without a single musket. (Star Trek: Nemesis)
