In Darwin's Footsteps

Eric Simon, PhD

From 1831-1836, Charles Darwin circumnavigated the

globe aboard the HMS Beagle. In the Galapagos Islands

and elsewhere, Darwin collected data that, after

decades of study and reflection, formed part of the basis

for his publication On the Origin of Species. The ideas

presented in that volume remain the foundation of all

modern biological thought. Drawing upon original source

materials and the instructor’s photos, this course will

present the historical and cultural context of Darwin’s

era, follow the five-year journey, discuss how Darwin

came to his ideas, and explain his theories in detail.
