Product Description
Synopsis
When HMS Beagle sailed out of Devonport on 27 December 1831, Charles Darwin was twenty-two and setting off on the voyage of a lifetime. His journal, here reprinted in a shortened form, shows a naturalist making patient observations concerning geology, natural history, people, places and events. Volcanoes in the Galapagos, the Gossamer spider of Patagonia and the Australasian coral reefs - all are to be found in these extraordinary writings. The insights made here were to set in motion the intellectual currents that led to the most controversial book of the "Victorian age: The Origin of Species".

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't tell me he wasn't having fun, 25 Dec 2000
By B. Chandler "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Remember this says "Journal" and that is what it is. It is his first parson adventures on and off the Beagle. He even includes stories about the people on the ship, the ship's life, and maintenance. He is always going ashore and venturing beyond the ship charter to go where no Englishman has gone before. He makes friends with tyrants and the down trodden. Once, to get an animal to come to him, he lay on his back and waved his arms and legs in the air. Whatever you do, do not turn your back on him. He is always knocking something on the head and taking it back for study. It is fun trying to match the old names for places with the new.

5.0 out of 5 stars surprisingly entertaining and vivid trip back in time, 5 Oct 2006
By Old Flozer (Ipswich, UK) - See all my reviews
having read Origin of Species, I was expecting this to be rewarding but a little dusty - and was delighted at how hugely readable it is. Darwin's descriptions of not just the natural world but also the human cultures at the time really bring the era to life - though he is not afraid to express judgements, and Australians and New Zealanders in particular might not be too flattered by his comments! The book is also often hilariously 'non-PC'; whenever he finds some rare beast which has never met and so is unafraid of mankind, he doesn't hesitate to knock it on the head and have it stuffed.... Absolutely recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Darwin's theory of evolution seduced by continuum, 31 Jul 2007
By Linnaeus (Kasukabe, JAPAN) - See all my reviews
Darwin' theory begins with individual variability(individual variation).

What does individual variability mean? Not to mention, it means that one individual differs from another one. A group of different individuals makes species or genus. When the individual variability proceeds to a certain degree, the creature produces defective offspring. This creates the difference of species or the wall of species. So we tell about biological diversity.

But there is no continuity between the individual variability and the change of species(evolution). For examble, at which point would our ancestors change to other species, when we go back to our distant ancestors? Our ancestors hold their continuity as species and they do not break.

Nevertheless Darwin connect individulal variability with the variation of species. It is because his definition of species is very vague and the definition of classification is also not clear.

Hegel says in §229 of "Shorter Logic": "Definition involves the three organic elements of the notion: the universal or proximate genus (genus proximum), the particular or specific character of the genus (qualitas specifica), and the individual, or object defined."(From the site of MIA)

To put it briefly, when there are more objects than two: the identity(commonness) of the tw
