More than any other place on Earth, the Gal�pagos Islands are the workshop of evolution. Isolated and desolate, they were largely overlooked by early explorers until Charles Darwin arrived there in the 1830's. It was Darwin who recognized that Gal�pagos' isolation and desolation were advantages: the paucity of species and lack of outside influences made the workings of natural selection crystal clear.
