DARWIN AND THE INKAS IN PACIFIC SOUTH AMERICA
Recent impressions from
the Galapagos Islands and Peru

By Dale Croes, PNWAS Director
Archaeologist and Anthropologist



Dr. Dale Croes recently was treated to a South American trip by his son, Jaered Croes.  They visited the Galapagos Islands that Darwin explored on his historic voyage of the Beagle as a 26 year old Naturalist.  Then we toured several Inkan ruins in Peru, witnessing this ancient civilization and their centers.
 
As suggested at our Winter PNWAS meeting, the group agreed they would like to hear more about the anthropological and archaeological impressions Dr. Croes had while on this trip, especially about what Charles Darwin experienced and the archaeology of the Inka witnessed. We also will explore the amazing archaeological centers of the Inkan civilization.  The stone masonry in their monumental construction is unsurpassed in workmanship and building efforts.
