Books by Charles Darwin mentioned on podcasts
Charles Darwin and his written works have appeared in discussions across several podcast episodes regarding their historical and scientific significance. On Behind the Bastards, Robert Evans discussed how the 1859 publication of The Origin of Species electrified and inspired Francis Galton, eventually pushing him toward applying selective breeding concepts to humans. During an episode of Conversations with Tyler, Jared Diamond compared Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring to Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, noting that both are likely the two books by scientists that have had the biggest impact in the last century. On Modern Wisdom, Matt Ridley and the host discussed The Voyage of the Beagle and The Origin of Species, pointing out that Darwin briefly mentioned the idea of sexual selection in the latter work and observing that his interest in natural selection seemed to slow down after its publication. Stephen C. Meyer also mentioned The Origin of Species on The Joe Rogan Experience, describing it as an extended scientific argument. Additionally, Darwin's research into behavior and reactions has drawn attention. The host of People I (Mostly) Admire referenced The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals while talking about human responses, and No Stupid Questions highlighted the same 1872 publication as an early, crucial contribution describing emotions related to learning and thinking before modern emotion psychology focused on the subject.
