In Darwin's Shadow – Taking his great work forward
How biology is still driven by Charles Darwin's 150-year-old book, The Origin of Species
Celebrating the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the "most important book in biology, perhaps the best-known scientific book ever written" – The Origin of Species.
In the first of four parts, geneticist and author Professor Steve Jones talks to scientists about how our understanding of Darwin's theories has been brought up to date and the gaps have been filled in. He visits Down House, Darwin's family home in Kent, where after his HMS Beagle voyage, he wrote The Origin of Species.
