Solution
Biogeography is the study of the geographical distribution of life forms on earth. Darwin undertook a voyage on the ship H M S Beagle. The ship traversed the Southern hemisphere where life is most abundant and varied. Along the way, Darwin found different forms of life very different from those in England. As he sailed southward along the South America, he found that similar species replaced each other. He thought that related species could have been modiffed according the environment. His views got confirmed on Galapagos islands (small group of Volcanic islands of the Western coasts of South Anmerica). Darwin found different modified forms of finches which seemed to have descended from mainland finches as a result of the natural selection.
