Darwin and the Tree of Life Viana Eriksson

Young Charles would spend ages outside at every opportunity, studying nature and observing animals, plants and any other wonders he could find hidden away. He would lose himself for hours in the great outdoors, taking in all the details of the natural world around him. Being outdoors was his very favourite thing!

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll find a way to help the world", young Charles used to tell his father - and unquestionably he did! With his Theory of Evolution by natural selection, Darwin becomes one of the greatest biologists and most influential figures in human history. Two hundred years later, we can explain who we are and understand where we come from, thanks to the priceless knowledge that Charles Darwin gave to the world through his research and books.
