Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English, I'm Rob.

And I'm Sam.

Now, when we think about famous figures in the history of science,

the name of Charles Darwin often comes up.

Darwin is most famous for his theory of evolution, the idea that animals change and adapt

in response to their environment.

In the 1830s, he visited the Galapagos, a string of islands in the Pacific Ocean,

famous because of the unique animals living there.

It was while in the Galapagos, observing small birds called Finches,

that Darwin started forming his theory of evolution.

But today, the animals of the Galapagos face the same pressures as animals across the world

because of the effects of man-made climate change.

Warming sea waters and more frequent extreme weather events are affecting animals as much as

humans, so in this programme, we'll be asking, can animals evolve to deal with climate change?

But first, I have a question for you, Sam, and it's about Charles Darwin's trip to the

Galapagos. In 1831, Darwin set sail around the world, collecting samples of flora and fauna,

the plants and animals of the places he visited. But what was the name of the ship he sailed in?

Was it A, HMS Beagle, B, HMS Victory, or C, SS Great Britain?

Maybe it was B, HMS Victory?

Are you sure?

No.
