A spotlight on the life and work of the primary founder of evolutionary science.

In the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin publicly set forth his theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. Species are not fixed, but vary and transform according to the law of the survival of the fittest. This was revolutionary: the idea of an almighty Creator crumbled, and with it any providential natural "plan." Victorian England grew vehementl impassioned, whether for or against. A scientific tale that sums up and explains Darwin's main theories as well as the impact of his ideas throughout the world.
