Read by Victor Bevine.
On a desert island in the heart of the Galapagos archipelago, where Darwin received his first inklings of the theory of evolution, two scientists have spent 20 years proving that Darwin did not know the strength of his own theory. For among the finches of Daphne Major, natural selection is neither rare nor slow: it is taking place by the hour, and people can watch. The author follows these scientists as they watch Darwin's finches and come up with a new understanding of life itself.
