Though he circled the world on the 'Beagle' for 5 years, Darwin spent only 5 weeks on the famed Galpagos. He had no epiphany there. What 'certain facts' from the voyage led this young Creationist to propose a theory so radical it remains controversial (though widely proven) 150 years later? Darwin's Lost Voyage brings passages from Darwin's writings to life, as we see the clues he saw while listening to his words--and watch in wonder as CGI animates his ideas, focusing us on critical details and revealing the lucid epiphanies of a magnificent mind. Charles Darwin altered humanity's conception of nature with his theory of evolution. But what occurred in the life of this naturalist, an avowed Creationist, to cause these revolutionary ideas to take hold? Evolutionary biologist Armand Leroi leads the way in this globe-trotting trip through the natural world and into the mind of Charles Darwin.
