Autobiography of Charles Darwin

Autobiography of Charles Darwin

Autobiography of Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin

The most intimate portrait we have of the man who changed how we understand life on Earth. Darwin wrote these memoirs for his family in 1876, not for posterity, and that candor is what makes them extraordinary. He recalls his curious childhood, his aimless years at Edinburgh and Cambridge, the transformative voyage of the Beagle, and the slow, painstaking labor of developing a theory that would reshape human thought. But the autobiography is more than a scientific biography. Darwin writes with disarming honesty about his doubts, his health struggles, his domestic happiness, and his evolving views on religion. This is the scientist at his most human, reflecting on what it means to spend a life pursuing truth.
