Charles Darwin and speciation. Animation of a bust of the head of British naturalist Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882), with examples of his diagrams (left) on evolution and speciation. Darwin had briefly studied medicine and then trained in the clergy, but his interest was in natural history. In 1831 he set sail as naturalist on HMS Beagle, which was to provide the fieldwork for his famous book. His theory of evolution was published as 'On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection' (1859). It caused a storm of controversy with Christian orthodoxy, as it contradicted the widely accepted belief that different animal and plant species were created by a divine creator (God)

Santa Fe land iguana (Conolophus pallidus) sleeping in Santa Fe, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. This species is endemic to Santa Fe Island in the Galapagos, meaning it is not found anywhere else in the world. The Galapagos Islands are home to many endemic species owing to their remoteness and diverse habitats. A visit to these islands inspired Charles Darwin's theories on evolution.

Galapagos: Enchanted Archipelago is a short travel film/documentary, directed and produced by William Singer, on the Galapagos Islands and—to a much lesser degree— Ecuador. The film opens with shots of great frigatebirds (00:09), Galapagos land iguanas (00:52; 02:30), Galapagos tortoise (01:02), and the Galapagos fur seal. A map provides an overview of the islands, and an aerial shot gives an even better view (03:21). Visitors can fly in on a plane (03:40) from Ecuador, then tour the islands on luxury yachts or small cruise ships, which enable them to visit isolated beaches (04:05) in pristine coves. People on a small motor boat pass through seals on their way to land, where they watch land iguanas (06:15), pelicans, and gray gulls (07:10). A man feeds a land iguana (07:25). Seals (07:36) bark while relaxing on rocks. A giant tortoise (08:12) at Charles Darwin Station at Academy Bay is photographed. A woman holds baby tortoises. Lava lizards (08:50) are a favorite for visitors to the island. Tower Island is home to the frigatebirds (10:14; 10:40), red-footed boobies (11:05), and Darwin finches. Isla Santa Maria is home to flamingos (12:40), but their populations are decreasing, and they are largely left alone. Visitors must stop at the famous Post Office Barrel at Post Office Bay (13:30). On Hood Island (14:04), visitors find the Galapagos Albatross, as this island is the only place where they nest. A baby booby watches a tourist photograph wildlife (14:51). Porpoises, pelicans, and seals swim in the blue waters just off the coast of Hood Island. Isla Fernandina is home to sea lions, seals (17:06), penguins (19:35), flightless cormorants (18:01), and a massive colony of marine iguanas (18:18). Visiting mainland Ecuador affords tourists the chance to meet Colorado Indians (20:10) in Santo Domingo, watch the annual bull fights of Quito (20:41), explore streets and markets, relax at the beaches near Salinas, and enjoy the fiesta Quito (22:00). <p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
