This page contains STARTING POINTS for research on the characters of our puppet play. You will most likely need to find some more sites to finish your research.


AboutDarwin - Nice BEGINNER SITE that has links to all but Emma Darwin. The information is basic, though and needs to be supported.

Charles Lyell
Wikipedia-Most likely the best place for historical information and background information.
Strangescience - This may be a little bit of a difficult read, but has a lot of information on what may have influenced Darwin.



Jean Baptiste de Lamarck
Wikipedia - Most likely the best place for historical information and background information.
ScienceNetLinks- Very good site, but stick to the "Example of this type of explanation" ​part of the table.


Alfred Russel Wallace
Wikipedia - Most likely the best place for historical information and background information.
BBC - Details the relationship between the two scientists and how Darwin eventually became more famous than Wallace.

Thomas Henry Huxley
Wikipedia - Most likely the best place for historical information and background information.
AboutDarwin - An account of a famous meeting at Oxford University where Huxley went to bat for Darwin.

Emma Darwin
Wikipedia - Most likely the best place for historical information and background information.
Scienceon - By no means a complete picture, but interesting, nonetheless.
Her Circle - Discusses the possibility (and the possible myth) that Emma played an important role in the publication of Darwin's book.
