Description
Everyone knows the story of Darwin's trip to the Galapagos - but less well known is that much of evolutionary theory was influenced by his observations at home. Jimmy visits Down House - and recre...ates many of Charles Darwin's crucial experiments. In the first programme Jimmy explores the work Charles Darwin did before the publication of 'On The Origin of Species' in 1859. Together, these experiments helped give Darwin the confidence to finally make his radical ideas on evolution public.
