The author of this article, Miles Mathis, argues that Charles Darwin was a fraud and that his famous journey on the Beagle was fabricated. Mathis points to several pieces of evidence, including the unusually sophisticated writing style of Darwin’s journals, which he believes a 22-year-old Darwin would not have possessed. He also questions the authenticity of portraits of Captain Fitzroy and Robert Stewart, and suggests that Fitzroy and Castlereagh may have faked their deaths. Mathis further asserts that Darwin was not the ship’s naturalist, but rather a companion to Fitzroy, and that the scientific results of the expedition were actually produced by a committee of scientists back in Cambridge, including Professor Owen, Mr. Waterhouse, Mr. Gould, Reverend Jenyns, and Mr. Bell.

The article also scrutinizes the logistics of the Beagle’s voyage, particularly the journey through the Straits of Magellan during winter and the speed of the return trip from Galapagos to England. Mathis claims the ship’s speed and the conditions described are implausible and that the existence of the schooner Adventure is questionable. He also highlights inconsistencies in the reported movements of the Beagle and the chronometers, and the lack of mention of key figures like Stokes and Wickham in Darwin’s own writings. Ultimately, Mathis concludes that the Beagle’s second voyage is a myth and intends to continue his debunking in a future part.
