Description

Explore Evolution Where It All Began — England! Step into Darwin’s world and discover how one revolutionary idea changed everything. The England: Evolution in Darwin’s World and Ours program dives into the wild journey of evolutionary thought — from pre-Darwin vibes to the game-changing moment when Origin of Species dropped. You’ll explore how science works, discuss Alfred Russel Wallace (Darwin’s underrated co-thinker), and unpack how these ideas still shape our lives today.

While in England, you’ll get exclusive access to iconic spots like:

  • The Natural History Museum (London)
  • Cambridge University (Darwin’s alma mater)
  • The British Museum & Westminster Abbey
  • Down House — Darwin’s actual home/lab
  • The Linnaean Society of London

 

And yes, there’s time for fun too! Think:

  • Catching a show in the West End
  • Exploring the Tower of London
  • Visiting Shakespeare’s Globe Theater

 

This isn’t just a class — it’s a full-on adventure through science, history, and culture. Come curious, leave inspired.
