A narrative account of Darwin's historic four-year voyage on the Beagle to South America, Australia and the Pacific in the 1830s. This biography examines the scientific research that occupied Darwin during the voyage. Keynes shows exactly how Darwin's geological researches and his observations on natural history sowed the seeds of his revolutionary theory of evolution, and led to the writing of his great works on "The Origin of Species" and "The Descent of Man".
