DARWIN WEEK FEB 8-12

February 8, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - February 12, 2016 @ 8:00 pm

On board Yacht La Pinta, while exploring The Galapagos Islands, we are celebrating Darwin Week with a series of talks and lectures related to Charles Darwin’s works. On Feb 8 we analyzed the critical thinking on Charles Darwin after writing a list of pros & cons as to why marry Emma Wedgewood, his first cousin. On Feb 9 our Expedition Leader, Mr. Ramiro Jacome, talked about the Genealogy of Charles Darwin in order to undertstand how his family developed. On Feb 10, it was the right time to look at the origin of the famous line “survival of the fittest”. Here we covered how Herbert Spencer coined this phrase, and how Charles Darwin mentioned on the 5th edition of Origin of Species. Feb 11 saw the importance of the formal apology by The Church of England, 126 years after his death. And, last but not least, the full biography lecture on Charles Darwin on Feb 12, including the famous naming of Mount Darwin by Captain Robert Fitzroy on board HMS Beagle right on Charles Darwin’s 25th Birthday! Guests on board have been delighted with the exclusive celebration of our Darwin Week Feb 8-12, in the Galapagos Islands.
