Charles Darwin - The Voyage of the Beagle
Added 2019-09-27 14:30:59 +0000 UTCThe 1830s were an exciting time for science. All throughout Europe, there was a great movement to explore, map, and classify the world. And it was this expanding world that young Charles Darwin graduated intoβ¦ albeit with the wrong degree. Because although he would one day be known as βthe Father of Modern Biology,β Darwinβs father was set on his son following in his footstepsβas a doctor.

Personally I love the general more thematic "lets tell an in unheard history story" like the seminal catastrophe (ww1) being a prime example

2019-10-01 00:07:44 +0000 UTCI'm on the same boat so I'm hoping, that in true EH fashion, they spend more time talking about what his research was (ex. flinch beaks, tortoise shells, etc.) then his actual life which is definitely documented to an extravagant amount. I also know they'll need to mention Alfred Wallace somewhere lol

2019-09-28 13:44:37 +0000 UTCI feel conflicted, on one hand I'm a scientist and I like seeing videos about scientists. On the other hand... Darwin is more of a history topic than an "Extra History" topic. More has been written about him than about any scientist. Literally everyone knows about him. I feel like it's very different from the early formula of "let's talk about things you didn't learn in history classes"

2019-09-28 00:26:52 +0000 UTCThrow in the implications of Darwinβs theory expressed through Social Darwinism, and the intellectual debate which came to a head in the Skopes Monkey Trial, and you got yourself a video series!
