Answer:

19th century

Step-by-step explanation:

Charles Darwin visited Galapagos Islands during his voyage on HMS Beagle in 1831. These islands are the chain of 22 islands located in Pacific Ocean on west coast of South America. Based on his observation during the voyage, he proposed the theory of natural selection in his book named as "On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection; or, The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life" in 1859.

During the 19th century is, in the year 1859
when Charles Darwin came up with his theory of evolution.

He was an English naturalist, geologist and also a biologist.

He was well known for his contributions in the science of evolution. He introduced his scientific theory of pattern of evolution which resulted from a process known as natural selection where the struggle for existence has a similar effect to artificial selection which involves in selective breeding.
