(group 1)
(group 1)
Speaker: Good morning, Mr. Darwin, we are very happy to have you here with us today.
Darwin: Good day to you too and to all the spectators here on the radio.
Speaker: Before starting I wanted to explain to you how this interview will take place: first of all, we need to inform you that it will not be me who will create the questions but your followers who follow us from home today as well. I will ask you a question and you will have to answer or move on to the next one. To remind the followers who follow us that the questions will all be asked on an electronic roll and all drawn by lot.
thanks to you first of all being here with us. If you don’t mind, I would start the draw
Darwin: of course
Speaker: a certain Giulia galli says: good morning Mr Darwin, I'm doing a research on you and i would like to know when and where were you born and when and where you died.
Darwin: Sure,I was born Shrewsbury in the United Kingdom on 12th February 1809 and i died let's say before coming here on 19th April 1882 to my house.

Speaker: thank you for the question Giulia. let's move on to the next one ... or the next one: Alessio 1208 question: did you really travel around the world?
Darwin: yes, but I would also like to specify that I did not make this trip for personal pleasure even if it was very exciting; I did this trip as a scientific expedition .. it was in 1831 and I was 22 years old, when I took part in this scientific expedition that I brought to America and Oceania and if I'm not wrong, 5 years later I returned with the outline of my theory of evolution.
Speaker: Very interesting question Alessio 1208, seems that Alejandra 82 is also interested, she asks:How was his survey trip on the HSM Beagle?
Darwin: it was very exciting, the trip lasted around five years and helped me a lot. We took off at PlymouthBay on the 27th December 1831, a day that changed my life. Just like Fitzroy said, I Spent my time making geological research while the others studied the sea currents and made maps. I wrote a diary while I was there, it helped me to control my frequent seasickness. I also sent my researches to the Cambridge University for better results. It was a great experience! I passed through many interesting places, actually, I kind of travelled around the entire Earth. Very exiting... very exiting...
Speaker: Mr Darwin, well, this isn’t another person’s question, but I have a doubt. How did that revolutionary idea of yours came about??
Darwin: Well. I've always been very fascinated by mysteries and I have always loved travels. After graduating I was locked in the house with the same mood as a man in prison for debts and various things... I were fascinated by nature and by amazing stories of explorers such as Alexander Von Humbold. I've longed to travel but the attempt at sedition in Tenerife

failed miserably and the unattractive p4rospect of earning a living as parish vicar loomed upon me. Just then I received a letter offering me an incredible opportunity. Fitzroy, an aristocratic sea captain with a fickle temperament, was looking for someone of the same social standing to accompany him on an exploratory mission to Tierra del Fuego. But, as was usual in expeditions of that kind, he also wanted with him a naturalist capable of exploiting the opportunities for research, collection of samples and observation, in a few words, someone like me! Hahahaah
Speaker: Well, thanks for answering my question, we'll go what to our viewers. Axelprogamersays: how did the idea of the man coming from the monkeys came to your head?
Darwin: Well, kind of a funnystory .Truth is that it wasn´t me the one who thought this. Actually I said that men and monkeys have a common ancestor, not that men descend from monkeys, but some of the ones who didn´t agree with my theory of evolution made a caricature of me with a monkey body, suggesting that humans came from the monkey. It became so widely known that people thought that the caricature was a joke about a statement that I did. Well, soon enough, they became convinced that I was the one who thought it and the rest is history.
Speaker: It indeed very funny, and what a funny photograph also. Xursosays: OMG! Hi Darwin, I have a question: how did people react to your theory?
Darwin: The immediate reactions to The Origin of Species, the book in which I described evolution by natural selection, included an international debate, although the heat of the controversy was less than previous works such as

Darwin: The immediate reactions to The Origin of Species, the book in which I described evolution by natural selection, included an international debate, although the heat of the controversy was less than previous works such as
Vestiges of Creation. I got close to the debate, animating Thomas Henry Huxley's battles with Richard Owen to eliminate clerical rule from the scientific establishment. Although my illness kept me away from public debates, I read enthusiastically about them and gained support through correspondence. Though many people were disappointed because they understood that humans didn´t have a special place in this universe, must´ve upseted them pretty much.
Speaker: Thanks Xurso, let's move on. Helixapache00 asks: Hello Darwin, we’ve found that you had a difficult life, root of your illnesses, can you talk about it?
Darwin: Yes, of course. One faithful day in 1837, I had an uncomfortable palpitation of the heart and the doctor told me to take a break in the country, but while I was in my break, my relatives were just too eager about my trips and barely gave any rest. Some time later, I received another job, but the little rest I got took its toll and I found myself with stomach problems, headaches, heart symptoms.... Later in my life, I would suffer these problems again and leaved me incapacitated. The doctors never knew the cause of my illness and there was no treatment that could ease my pain.
Speaker: Well seems that Helixapache00 has a friend with him, Alan09 also is asking about your life. We heard that you had formed a family, can talk about it?
Darwin: Well, I married Emma wedgwood, a wonderful woman. I had ten wonderful children, sadly, two of them died. I especially grieved my little daughter Anne´s death. Well, the rest of them became distinguished students and so on.

Speaker: now StevenAFK's question :Can you tell us how your theory about?
Darwin: Why not? It is a little complicate though. Well, people like to call it “evolution”, but I like to refer it as “descents with modifications”. My theory is that population growth would lead to a “struggle for survival” in which favourable variations prevail, while others perish. I´ve seen that plants and animals with a common ancestry are very diverse, so I called this the natural selection theory.
Speaker: The last question is from Jorge69. How were your last days of life?
Darwin: Well, despite my sudden sprouts of my illness, I still continued working on many of my book, I published some of them, but alas, my condition went worse and I had to spend most of my time inside my bed, something that didn´t stop me from continuing my researches and writing more books. Though after some years bedridden, I finally got to rest in peace knowing that I had changed the study of biology forever.
Speaker: Thank you very much Mr. Darwin for coming here and we thank and greet all of our viewers
Darwin: Goodbye and thank you!
