A narrative account of Darwin's historic four-year voyage on the Beagle to South America, Australia and the Pacific in the 1830s. This biography examines the scientific research that occupied Darwin during the voyage. Keynes shows exactly how Darwin's geological researches and his observations on natural history sowed the seeds of his revolutionary theory of evolution, and led to the writing of his great works on The Origin of Species and The Descent of Man.

Keynes gets much of the detail from the various journals of Darwin and others on the Beagle and brings the narrative together in a useful manner. The style is low-key, with no attempt to extract some startling new inference from the record. Indeed, he makes sure to debunk some over-excited frothings of previous writers.
HHardly a page-turner, but well done. Read Jan 2013. ( )
