Description
When Darwin announced his theory of evolution by natural selection, he did more than transform biology—he told us that humans too are part of nature. His decisive experience—a five-year round-the-world voyage on the Beagle— set him thinking about the diversity of life, ideas that would challenge the scientific establishment and Victorian society. This concise account of Darwin’s life and work makes vividly clear why his work continues to influence us all.
