GeoJeopardy! Fridays

Time for GeoJeopardy! Fridays, because tomorrow is Dawin's birthday. So in honor of his birthday we have something a little different, a category just on Darwin, diverging a little from the strict geology of previous posts.

- Darwin -

 This 1859 book was a "natural selection" for readers; the first edition sold out in one day

------------------------------------------------------------------

 Darwin spent just 17 days ashore in these islands in 1835, but his studies there still reverberate today

-----------------------------------------------------------------

 Though he later became an agnostic, in his youth Darwin followed the traditions of this church

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Darwin & his wife were these close blood relatives, as Darwin's mother & his wife's father were siblings

----------------------------------------------------------------

Darwin's paternal grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, declined an offer to become private physician to this 18th C. king

-----------------------------------------------------------------

All the answers as well as any other previous GeoJeopardy! questions can be found over at my website by clicking the link.
