What is recorded here

The public map records this plaque for Charles Darwin. Its recorded inscription reads: Charles Darwin, 1809‒1882, arrived at Falmouth aboard The Beagle on 2nd October 1836 and departed on the Royal Mail coach from this site
Charles Darwin was a pioneering naturalist and biologist whose theory of evolution by natural selection, presented in "On the Origin of Species," fundamentally transformed scientific understanding of the diversity of life. The plaque marks his passage through Falmouth during his return from the voyage of the Beagle, which provided crucial evidence for his revolutionary ideas.
