Charles Darwin's "The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection" made us rethink our place in the world. The concept that humans shared a common ancestor with apes was a challenge to the foundations of western civilisation. Darwin kept silent for 20 years before going public and was only half joking when he described writing his book 'On the Origin of Species' as 'like confessing a murder'. This is the story of one man’s struggle with the most fundamental idea of all time.
