Charles Darwin: After the Origin: On view through June 7th, Museum of the Earth: Studying everything from botany to earthworms, Darwin continued extensive biological work throughout his later life, although that work has received far less attention than the work that informed Origin of Species. Across his wide range of interests and expertise, he was always thinking as an evolutionist, wondering how an animal or plant had originated and how it was related to others and to life in general. This exhibition focuses specifically on seven of Darwin's publications that occurred after the Origin. All seven continued to support the theories he laid out in his seminal book. http://www.museumoftheearth.org/index.php
