February 12 represents the 214th birthday of Charles Darwin, a scientist whose ideas transformed human understanding of the natural world, and undoubtedly one of the most influential scientists in history. But that history may have been different, as Dawrin’s career altering voyage aboard HMS Beagle almost didn’t happen.
