Introduces the remarkable story of Darwin's ideas, how scientists and religious leaders reacted to them, and the sea of change in human thought that resulted.

This series of lectures will illustrate many of the ways we are just like other animals, ways we use similar physiology in completely novel ways, and way in which there is simply no precedent in the animal kingdom for what we do.
