En 1831, le jeune Charles Darwin, 22 ans, embarque sur le navire HMS Beagle pour un voyage de cinq ans autour du monde. Aux îles Galápagos (1835), il observe que les pinsons ont des becs différents selon les îles. Ces observations l'aident à imaginer la théorie de l'évolution, publiée en 1859 dans On the Origin of Species. Pour raconter : sailed, observed, collected, noticed (réguliers), wrote, saw (irréguliers).
