Virginie Girod SEASON 2022 - 202306h00, December 29, 2022

Listen to the continuation of the story of the English scientist Charles Darwin, told by the historian Virginie Girod, in an unpublished story in two episodes.

During a scientific expedition in Latin America where he was able to observe nature, Charles Darwin saw his vision of the world, supposed to be organized by God, called into question.

His theory of evolution, according to which species evolve over time to adapt to their environment, is in the making. But it is a new discovery that will shake up his certainties!
