Charles Darwin was one of mankind's greatest thinkers. His extensive scientific research, which culminated in the publication of the theory of evolution in 1859, shook man's age-old belief in being the chosen ones, the fruit of "divine creation", and proved that man had developed through a long evolutionary process. Many of the observations which brought Darwin to this new and shocking conclusion were made during his long sojourn onboard the Beagle, a British ship on which he traveled around the world in a voyage that lasted from 1831 to 1836. This docudrama reconstructs Darwin's voyage and asks contemporary scientists why his ideas are still important.
