Galapagos shows the lives of humans that have evolved according to the ‘natural selection’ and have been deprived of human characterics such as feelings and thoughts, maintaining only the instincts of survival and some physical features. Leon, the son of a novelist named Trout, is the narrator who has watch-ed the lives of human beings on earth over a million years. According to his observations, men always deceive each other, destroy nature and their circumstances, and make terrible weapons which could lead to the end of human existence. Therefore the only way to survive is to become less intelligent by retrogression. This is indispensible for humaniny to be safe and be happy. Ultimately, the main reason that caused the change in human beings was their ‘big brains’ which they took such pride in and entirely depended on. So the only way to preserve life is for the ‘highly developed big brain’ to become extinct. Throughout Leon's observations over the million years, Vonnegut points out several problems and criticizes the current situation of our society such as excessive population, torture, slavery, and the fearful destruction of nature. In additon, he also thinks selfish human beings are taking advant-age of Darwin's theory of ‘natural selection’ to use ‘social selection’ as a way of gaining their own selfish and malicious goals. In Galapagos, Vonnegut seems to succeed in subverting this vicious end. As a way of overcoming the viciousness of the ‘big brain’ and the crisis of human civilization, Galapagos gives profound consideration on the regaining of humanity and preserving of life. And it also sends an apocalyptic warning to human civilization and delivers a message of relief with a deep vision of the future through the biggest tragedy of Galapagos.
