Abstract:
The Beagle project reconstructed Darwin's 5-year long voyage on the HMS Beagle in an attempt to assess where the world stands today in light of Darwin's evolution theory. Over 8 months, the crew on the clipper, Stad Amsterdam, explored all aspects of
Darwin's trip and its implications for the future of our planet. This episode looks at the idea that some Aboriginals of the Nhanda people are descended from Dutch castaways and includes quotes from Darwin of his observations on Australia and the Aborigines from his Beagle voyage.
