This audiobook takes a closer look at who Charles Darwin was, how he lived his everyday life and how influential he became; not just in his own day but into the modern world as well. Find out what interested his incredible mind and how Darwin presented his theories to a yet unsuspecting world. From beetles to butterflies, coral reefs and tropical islands, from apes to humans, learn how Charles Darwin's evidence speaks even to the world today.

I only give this 3 stars due to certain phrases where the author says or implies a certain modern triumphalist development of science into the 20th century. This can too easily give the reader the impression that there was no such thing as science before Darwin and that the Medieval view was based on theological superstition. Such is hardly the case. Read Albertus Magnus, Roger Bacon, or even Avicenna. There was extensive biological thought prior to Darwin that didn’t import a God of the gaps.
