    What if Charles Darwin’s story is just the beginning? Discover the hidden 20-year journey behind his revolutionary ideas, from his mysterious illnesses to his obsession with barnacles. Explore how the peacock's tail and the concept of sexual selection challenged his theory of natural selection, and how his ideas shook the foundations of faith and philosophy.

    Dive into the surprising camaraderie between Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, and the pivotal Oxford debate that gave Darwin’s work its voice. This episode uncovers misconceptions about evolution and ponders the future of progress, asking: who will truly survive in the story of life?
