S s uses his own singular vision to create a gloriously detailed panorama of a genius\'s trajectory through investigating and understanding the mysteries of nature.
A multilayered journey through Darwin\'s world, The Tree of Life begins with his childhood and traces the arc of his life through university and career, following him around the globe on the voyage of the Beagle, and home to a quiet but momentous life devoted to science and family.
