    Friend is heading to the Galapagos Islands for a vacation. He was appalled because none of the young people he talked to had any idea what they were.

      In the defense of those folks, the knowledge of what the Galapagos are is pretty irrelevant unless you are into evolutionary biology or random islands for vacations. And even on thr vacation thing id rather go to Svalbard personally.

        Shouldn’t have to be “into” evolutionary biology. The foundational events of Charles Darwin’s early research into evolution are basic biology. Darwin’s finches should be middle school education along with Punnett squares and the scientific method.
