Debating Darwin
RTÉ Radio 1, Friday, 8.30pm
A series about how Darwin's ideas have survived into the 21st century. Of the great 19th century thinkers including Marx and Freud, only Darwin seems to have grown in stature and importance into the 21st century.
However Darwin's ideas have been controversial ever since they were first published in the mid 19th century. Most people have a vague idea of what his ideas are, survival of the fittest (not a phrase that Darwin used) and so on. But Darwin's theory of evolution was complicated.
In this series Damien Walsh explores how Darwin's ideas have survived and developed into the 21st century.
