Charles Darwin is without doubt one of the greatest thinkers in the history of mankind.
His scientific research , which culminated with the publication of the theory evolution in 1859, shook humanity’s belief in being chosen, the fruit of God's creation , and proved that it has developed through a long evolutionary process .
Mankind was no longer the unique creation of God, but the result of a process of adaptation that had lasted for millions of years. Many of the observations that led Darwin to this new and shocking conclusion were made during the long voyage of the Beagle, a British ship that took him around the world on a five-year journey from 1831 to 1836.
Two hundred years after Darwin's birth and 150 years after the publication of “The Origin of Species”, the documentary reconstructs the naturalist’s voyage around the world and talks to contemporary scientists to try and explain why his ideas still play such an important role in science today.
