Link to Charles Darwin, evolutions voice documentary
Documentary Description
He had to battle prejudice, ignorance and
his own fear in his search for the truth. More than any other
scientist, he changed mankind's view of the world and our place in it.
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution stands as one of the most
important discoveries in the history of science. Yet in his lifetime,
Darwin was reluctant to reveal what he had learned for fear that it
would make him and his family despised outcasts. He was right to worry;
more than a century later, there are those who cannot accept his
findings. At the time, they were viewed by many as heresy. From his
historic voyage on the Beagle to his personal anguish over publicizing
his findings, this is a fascinating profile of the life and times of
the great naturalist. Excerpts from his journals detail his discoveries
while leading scientists and scholars, including the author of Charles
Darwin: Evolution of a Naturalist, shed light on his private life,
public persona and monumental legacy.
