Darwin is fully aware of a fossil record that shows the extinction of species in the past. Many of these animals had been gigantic compared to their modern forms, and some appear to be out of place. He knows about ancient horses preceeding the Spanish in South America. Fissils are a symbol and metaphor for evolution.
