In this fascinating Stuff You Should Know episode, Josh and Chuck dive into the life of Charles Darwin and explore how one anxious, nauseated Victorian gentleman ended up sparking one of the biggest worldview shifts in human history. They cover Darwin's reluctant journey from would-be country parson to world-changing scientist, including his transformative five-year voyage on the HMS Beagle and his decades of meticulous research at his estate.
