Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace are some of the most important figures in the history of science. Yet, despite all that has been written about them over the years, historical research is still turning up completely new findings about their lives, their science, and how they came to change our understanding of life on earth forever.
This talk by, leading expert on Darwin and Wallace, Dr John van Wyhe, summarises two of his most recent books: Charles Darwin in Cambridge and Dispelling the Darkness: Voyage in the Malay Archipelago and the discovery of evolution by Wallace and Darwin.
