Synopsis

A colourful and fascinating introduction to the life and work of one of the world's most important scientists. In 1831, at only 22 years old, Darwin was offered the position of Naturalist on HMS Beagle's world voyage. He was set to become a clergyman but returns after five years at sea an inspired genius. Board HMS Beagle and embark on Darwin's journey, discovering how life on-board the ship really was for Darwin, the captain, crew and the expedition's artist. See Darwin discovering and observing insect life in Brazil, fossils in Argentina, earthquakes in Chile and turtles in the Galapagos Islands, following the steps which led to his inspired theory of evolution.
