Avg Customer Rating: 4 stars

Product Description: For 21 years, Charles Darwin kept his theory of evolution secret from all but a few friends. He confided to one: "It is like confessing to a murder." His torment resonates in society today--in the challenge his incredibly powerful idea poses to our understanding of our world and ourselves. We interweave the drama in key moments of Darwin's life with documentary sequences of current research, linking past to present and introducing major concepts of evolutionary theory. We also explore why Darwin's "dangerous idea" matters perhaps even more today than it did in his own time, and how it conveys the power of science to explain the past and predict the future of life on earth.

4 stars Biolrophy of Darwin and the Evolution of Natural Selection
I would have given this five stars, but for its length. My original intent was to use it for a review of Darwin's insights to how evolution works for Biology students. Fifty minutes would have been ideal. At almost two hours in length - it fills the bill for Darwin's place in history and as a mini-biography of this great thinker, but leaves the science as a shared subject. For many non-Anglo students, it can be overwhelming in its scope.
