Darwin's observations during his voyage on the HMS Beagle provided evidence of gradual changes in species over time, which supported Lyell's theory of uniformitarianism. By observing the diversity of species and the way they adapted to different environments, Darwin was able to see how natural selection could lead to the gradual evolution of species, in line with Lyell's idea that geological processes occur slowly and continuously over long periods of time.

Why were the Galapagos islands so important to Darwin's observations?
During Darwins visit to the Galapagos island he observed that these islands had many unique organisms, most of which were similar to but different from the plants and animals from the nearest mainland.... thus this indicated how population evolved. Darwin called this "descent with modification" meaning an ancestral species could diversify into many descendant species by the accumulation of adaptation to various environment. His observation described the theory of evolution.
