"The Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle [vol. 1 of 5]: Fossil Mammalia" by Richard Owen is a 19th-century scientific book that explores ancient mammals found on the Beagle's journey. It dives into the anatomy of these animals while also looking at where their fossils were uncovered. The book kicks off by highlighting the goals of the Beagle's trip to map South America. Owen explains his job of writing about the fossil mammals they found and also recognizes Charles Darwin's important work in geology, which is the base for understanding the fossils. Owen also mentions the many naturalists and scientists who all worked together, making it clear that knowing the geology is key to figuring out how these fossils fit into Earth's history.
