Mehr als jeder andere Denker der modernen Zeit hat Charles Darwin unsere Sicht auf uns selbst verändert. In fesselndem Prosa gewähren die Autoren Einblicke in seinen Charakter, sein Familienleben und seine wissenschaftliche Praxis. Es wird beschrieben, wie er Freundschaften schloss und brach, Menschen für sich gewann und an der Nase herumführte, sowie wissenschaftliche Neuigkeiten aufspürte. Sie verdeutlichen auch, wie Darwin kämpfen musste, um seine Ideen über Evolution und natürliche Selektion akzeptiert zu bekommen.
