Talk by Angela Delgado-Corredor, BA

Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, widely known for his contributions to evolutionary biology. Discover how his voyage on the HMS Beagle, and a stop in the Galapagos, led to the publishing, many years later, of his famous book, ‘On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection’.

Angela will take you through the life story of this amazing man and show how his ideas really shocked Victorian England in the 1830s.
