Drawing on his expertise as a distinguished biologist and Fellow of the Royal Society, de Beer chronicles Darwin's extraordinary journey — from his formative years and the legendary voyage of the Beagle to the revolutionary development of his theory of natural selection. The narrative illuminates the intellectual courage required to publish On the Origin of Species in the face of fierce scientific and religious opposition, detailing the personal struggles and triumphs that shaped Darwin's legacy. Written with scholarly rigour yet accessible prose, this biography argues that Darwin's contribution to biology was not merely a discovery, but a fundamental transformation of humanity's understanding of life itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956137504987,"sku":"2026200010947-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c5838028-a83d-48eb-aeff-402f43e90321.png?v=1783498249","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010947-secondhand-charles-darwin","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
