In this video Charles Darwin delivers his famous lecture on the origin of the species by means of natural selection. Evolutionary Geneticist, Professor John Brookfield, helps to bring the biological genius to life.
Well I got all these gullible friends together and given my past career in the movies I was a natural choice for the part. Of course I'm not the real Darwin - merely someone who has won a "Be Darwin for a Day" competition. And my coat isn't a real coat - it's just an anorak that has won a "Be Darwin's coat for a day" competition. Likewise my chair isn't a real chair - it's just an ordinary chair that has won "Be a professorial chair for the day" competition. But hey! that's showbiz!
Darwin, My Life and Letters Vol. 1, page 210, letter to Mr bentham admits, When we decend into details we can prove that no one species has changed ( i.e. We cannot prove that a single species has changed); nor can we prove that the supposed changes are beneficial, which is the ground work of the theory.
