Browne, delivers an introduction to the book that permanently
altered our understanding of what it is to be human. A sensation
on its publication in 1859, The Origin of the Species
profoundly shocked Victorian readers by calling into question
the belief in a Creator with its description of evolution
through natural selection. Browne delves into the long genesis
of Darwin's theories, from his readings as a university student
and his five-year voyage on the Beagle, to his debates with
contemporaries and experiments in his garden. |
