He chose his mainstream interest in botany and got distinction. Darwin spent his five years discovering the species around the world in HMS Beagle, a naval survey ship. He was there to collect the animals and birds specimens from the countries and islands. Visiting Galapagos Islands changed his entire life and gave him a purpose. After returning to his place, he started to study different species collected around the world in detail.
