Darwin’s Garden
Darwin’s Garden
In a time before DNA analysis and modern genetics, Charles Darwin had to develop some ingenious ways to prove his theory of evolution. With experiments involving a concert for earthworms and feeding sausages to a plant, in this series Jimmy Doherty repeats some of his most unusual work. This provides a unique insight into Darwin, his thinking, and the development of his theory.
