In Galápagos … and Uncomfortable with Evolution
Today in Galápagos, Darwin and evolution are everywhere (Moore and Cotner 2013).
For example, the town of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno (on San Cristóbal) is home to
‘Darwin’s Shop, since 1835 …’ (Figure 1), a huge statue of Darwin overlooks Frigatebird
Bay (where Darwin first set foot in the archipelago), and a bust of Charles Darwin greets
visitors along Malecón Charles Darwin, the village’s main street. Similarly, the Charles
Darwin Research Station is at the end of Charles Darwin Avenue in Puerto Ayora (on
Santa Cruz), where dozens of vendors hawk Darwin’s likeness and statements about
evolution on t-shirts, backpacks, coffee mugs and stickers. These items are popular with
tourists, who are the basis of 70% of the islands’ economy (Honey 2008).
