Darwin’s great voyage of discovery continues. The ancient past was a vast mystery, with many claiming that God alone was the explanation for all things. As Darwin travelled and jotted his observations in his little notebooks, he began to lift the veil on the ancient past. New species, now long vanished, were discovered. Darwin began to build the foundations for our understanding of the world. This episode covers;

- Time in Brazil
- The horror of slavery
- Flying spiders
- Uncovering giants in Argentina
- The problems with Taxonomy
- The problems with Richard Owens, genius and git
- Toxodon platensis and other megafauna

- The problem of intermediate forms
- Let’s talk about giant sloths, small sloths, and the importance of sloths
- “I saw sea shells, no where near the sea shore”
