Topic for the October 17th Gathering is Darwin, Downe House and the Missing Link

Our own Bob Finch will make a presentation entitled Darwin, Downe House and the Missing Link.

He will describe Downe House where Charles Darwin and his wife Emma lived for forty years - the house is now a museum which tells the story of Darwin's life. During his lifetime many people were concerned about the missing links: the absence of creatures intermediate between apes and man. Now these gaps are being filled in and Bob's talk will recollect how this work is progressing.
