Summary
Traces the twenty-one-year period between Charles Darwin's original idea about natural selection and the publication of 'On the Origin of Species,' in an account that offers insight into his experiences as a cautious naturalist.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In September 1838, a young Englishman named Charles Darwin hit upon the idea that natural selection among competing individuals would lead to wondrous adaptations and species diversity. Twenty-one years passed between that epiphany and publication of On the Origin of Species. The human drama and scientific basis of that time constitute a fascinating, tangled tale that illuminates this cautious naturalist who sparked an intellectual revolution. Drawing from Darwin's secret notebooks and personal letters, David Quammen has sketched a vivid life portrait of the man whose work remains controversial today.
