Some of Darwin's opinions of those he encountered have been included for colour and reflect the point of view of one young man born into "the wealthy professional upper class of early British bourgeois society" in the heyday of British colonialism. I hope no offence is taken. (Having personally spent time in beautiful Kerikeri with its lovely people, very close to the Bay of Islands, I can say that my opinions differ from his somewhat!)
As his ideas on evolution developed Darwin became critical of the Bible as a historical document, though when he finally published his theory of natural selection, which removed the need for intelligent design, he still considered himself a theist. This view subsequently fluctuated, though he never became an atheist. Although Darwin had stopped attending church with his family for decades, preferring to walk instead, in his final years he described himself as agnostic.
Congratulations for this incredible quiz, and nominated, although I know this nom will be completely useless in a few hour, when QM will consult his emails and notice that overtired striked again. ;-)
P.S. I think the dates on your table are wrong. The latter two columns say "June 1934 - Dec 1935" and "Jan - Oct 1936," and I'm guessing you meant "June 1834 - Dec 1835" and "Jan - Oct 1836."
Would love to see more quizzes like this as I loved the combination of testing your geography knowledge and learning about history!!!
Maybe do something with silk road/alexander the great, exploration of africa, phonesians, british/spanish exploration of the new world and more!
Enjoy the nomination and spotlight!!

This quiz has surpassed mere excellence! :D
Nominated, of course.
I can’t recreate the problem on my iPhone.
Still a nuisance, though. I’m not sure why it’s happening, either.
It's also been a bad idea to use this font stack at all ever since CSS added support for embedded fonts. We don't want Windows users to see one font, Mac users another, and Linux/Haiku/whatever users to see yet another. To ensure that everyone sees the same thing, the first font in the stack should be an embedded font. Noto Sans is the safe default sans-serif font. Add "<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Sans">" to your header template and you can use Google's CDN and bandwidth.
I'm on Windows, so my browser is loading Arial. You may be seeing Helvetica, or whatever the default is for your Linux distro, which may be why you don't have a horizontal scrollbar.
This deserves publication but I think quizmaster needs to create a special category for it since it's really competing in another league here.
Special mention to the ship's log, most informative addition to any quiz I ever saw here.
Weird I haven't comment before but it's never too late to do it: this is one of the most aesthetic quiz I have taken on JetPunk with a topic that perfectly fits the JetPunk basics. The animations are simply perfect. In other words: this is a real masterpiece! Awesome work overtired ;)
I was torn between wanting to answer as quickly as possible, and wanting to read everything in the ship log!
There's a typo in the log for Saint Helena: "immutabliity".
Thanks for the typo correction, will fix when I update.
And thanks too for the supplemental information. How wonderful to have a genuine Darwin scholar comment on my quiz! Had a look at reviews of your book and it seems fascinating.
Thanks :)
I kept trying bounty and bounties for cocos... they are a cocos based candybar here which I don't think is known (under that name) in the uk/us. I think I came across the word once, but it was used for something completely different.
Anyway.... now I realllly want one! So I am gonna go to the store... (already started to get ready to go out the door before typing the comment haha)
(Checking what bounty is called abroad will just have to wait! Usually I do research right away, but I am off now haha)
I'll bring an extra one for you as a reward for this excellent quiz :D
especially around the world in 80 days
