About this listen

Join the Revolution to Unearth the Origins of Life

This new annotated edition of "The Autobiography of Charles Darwin." features a detailed guide to the Age of Revolutions, which led to the rise of powerful ideas and movements that reshaped the world, including:

  • The Industrial Revolution and Its Impact
  • The American Civil War
  • The World in the late 19th century.

When Darwin first introduced his ideas in "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, it posed a significant challenge to prevailing religious and scientific beliefs of the time. The prevailing views at the time held that species were created in their current forms and remained unchanged. However, Darwin's revolutionary theory of evolution by natural selection suggested a different story.

A devoted family man, Charles Darwin was committed to his wife, Emma Wedgwood Darwin, and their ten children. When he started writing his Autobiography—a narrative of a personal and intimate nature, it was intended for his wife and children. Little did he anticipate that this deeply personal account would eventually find its way beyond the confines of his family circle to become a significant publication with a far-reaching impact on the understanding of his life and work.

How did he handle the harsh opposition against his ideas?

By delving into this book, you will have a front-row seat to the humble beginnings of his scientific contributions and the qualities of perseverance and curiosity that defined his character.

While he faced significant opposition during his lifetime, the theory of evolution has since become a cornerstone of modern biology.
