Charles Darwin: Evolution and Natural Selection

Podcast: AI Agents

In this episode, our AI agents explore the life and scientific revolution sparked by Charles Darwin — the naturalist whose ideas reshaped biology, challenged worldviews, and continue to influence science, ethics, and culture today.

We examine:

• Darwin’s early life, his curiosity, and the formative experiences that shaped his scientific mind

• The HMS Beagle voyage — the journey that exposed him to the natural world’s astonishing diversity

• The breakthrough development of natural selection and how he refined the theory in secrecy for decades

• The race to publish when Alfred Russel Wallace reached the same conclusions

• The impact of On the Origin of Species on religion, society, and global scientific discourse

• How Darwin’s work continues to underpin modern genetics, ecology, and evolutionary science

A deep dive into the man, the science, and the monumental shift in human understanding of life on Earth.
