But Darwin published his Origin of Species nearly thirty years after his voyages and most of his labours in that time were focused on experimenting with and observing plants at his house in Kent.

How was the process of making new human beings conceptualised and described by ancient medical writers? What roles did men and women have in these theories? How was family resemblance explained? In what ways did the new anatomical investigations in Hellenistic Alexandria change understandings?
Check out some of Darwin’s experiments, get creative with steam-punk makes, and explore the origins of the Museum. In partnership with the Darwin Correspondence Project and Whipple Museum of the History of Science. No need to book.
