Summary:
In 1979, the
Galapagos
Islands
was one of the earliest
World
Heritage
Sites to be selected by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), a designation intended to protect and preserve sites of cultural and natural
heritage
around the
world
. The biology of the
Galapagos
Islands
has arguably been studied more than any other archipelago in the
world
. Charles Darwin visited the
Galapagos
Islands
for five weeks in 1835 and then spent the next several decades at his home in England conducting experiments on a multitude of non-Galapagos species to confirm his theory of natural selection. His observations and collections contributed to the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, one of the most important ideas in all of science. Author Wayne Lynch left a career in emergency medicine to work full-time as a science writer and photographer. Today, he is one of Canada's best-known wildlife photographers. He is the author of Penguins of the
World
