Q&A Darwin: Off the Record

Darwin is one of the most controversial scientists of all time. He persuaded scientists that they had to take seriously the claim that all living things have evolved by natural causes from previously existing types. In this imaginary interview we get a real insight into the man behind the theories. Peter J. Bowler Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at Queen's University, Belfast, and author of many publications including Evolution: The History of an Idea (2009) and Charles Darwin: The Man and his Influence (1996).
