=Welcome to Ms. Sigman's wiki page!=

The Name
The second voyage of the //HMS// //Beagle// took Charles Darwin on a 5 year journey from England, around the coast of South America, to the Galapagos Islands, across the Pacific Ocean to what is now New Zealand, Australia, the Cocos Islands, and the tip of Africa. During this time, Darwin investigated geology and zoology making natural history collections that he sent back to England. As a result of his studies, the theory of Evolution and Natural Selection were developed and later elaborated on in his book //On The Origin Of Species,// //1859//. It is a little known fact that Darwin was actually an Orthodox Christian while on this voyage and it was not until 22 years later that he started experiments and research dealing with human descent that he expounded upon in his book //The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex, 1871//.

Like all areas of science, this wiki will be subject to continuous evolution which you will be encouraged to facilitate! Please enjoy and remember "Knowledge is power". Sir Francis Bacon, //Religious Meditations, Of Heresies, 1597.//

The Mission
The purpose of this wiki page is to explore and share the wonderful world of science! I try to make every day a new adventure and experience. I have posted some of my favorites as inspiration for you. There are simply too many mysteries to leave undiscovered. I challenge you not to take your life or the world you live in for granted. Pause to think about how your actions affect other living organisms. GO! Explore! Learn! And Share!
