Darwin identified a number of factors that affect the process of natural selection: overproduction, competition, and variations. Darwins theory was of evolution. In 1858, Darwin and another British biologist, Alfred Russel Wallace, proposed an explanation on how evolution occurs. Darwin explained that evolution occurs by means of natural selection.
Darwin was surprised that many of the plants and animals on the Galapagos Islands were similar to organisms on mainland South America. For example, many of the birds on the islands, including hawks, mocking birds, and finches, resembled those on the mainland. From Darwins observations, Darwin inferred that a small number of different plant and animal species had come to the Galapagos Islands from the storm or set adrift on a fallen log. The iguanas on the Galapagos Islands had large claws that allow them to keep their grip on slippery rocks, where they fed on seaweed. The iguanas on the mainland had smaller claws. Smaller claws allowed the mainland iguanas to climb trees, where they ate leaves.
The large, slender, and short-legged animals found on islands at least five of the eight islands, all of which were known to meet or pass through an ecosystem, that survive the storms that are likely to ensue for over a century remain remarkably familiar to Darwin. Many of the fish that are found on the islands, including those at Theodosius Island in Georgia and the Arundel Island in Massachusetts, are well integrated into modern-day ecosystems. The larger of the eight islands, Theodosius Island, lies in the eastern Caribbean and the middle of the Atlantic Ocean along with Tachina Island, both in Florida. The islands are close to Cape Cod and the St. Lawrence, Missouri, coast. A large number of the fish on islands in America have their origin in the U.S. mainland. For instance, the island of the Tachina fish is found along Florida’s Gulf and Atlantic coasts, and along Florida-Indian River. More than 40 species of small, fast-growing fish (including those found at the Alcatraz and the Caribbean Rivers) also can be found along the same Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Of those, only the St. Lawrence fishes remain at Tachina and other American shores, such as the Cape Cod Island. The big white iguanas and large white tigres may not exist in the world of American mammals, even among people, but Darwin did observe the same in humans and in other species found along the Caribbean and the St. Lawrence.
“The discovery of many new species of life on the island of Tachina has enabled Darwin to look for a place that most had only scratched the surface of his understanding of what it meant to be human.” —Charles Darwin, “The Theory of Everything”, National Geographic Traveling Tour
“Darwin was very pleased when he found a new way into one of the world’s most perplexing regions where the world-historical questions posed by global warming, pollution, and rising sea levels seem to have changed the answers he sought about our origins beyond the immediate past. These questions, he found, would give him a new way into the mind of nature and a way to understand it, from which I would be able to draw conclusions that would improve what we know as life forms. His discovery of this new way into life is the first step of a huge journey into the most complicated, fascinating area of the universe of our knowledge, and a vital contribution to our understanding and understanding of life and nature in general,” he said in a statement.

Scientists have been discovering caves, underwater sea creatures and many other things. In the caves, there are crystals. If you go very deep into the water, the pressure will then squeeze the submarine. The movie was really good to tell you about the new discoverings and how the Galapagos Islands are today.
