The Idea Too Dangerous to Publish | Charles Darwin Documentary

Why did Charles Darwin wait 21 years before publishing his theory of evolution? He already had the answer in 1838. But he knew exactly what it would do to the world. This documentary tells the extraordinary story of Charles Darwin, the voyage of HMS Beagle, the Galápagos Islands, natural selection, Alfred Russel Wallace, Victorian England, and the revolutionary idea that transformed biology forever.
