6. B
The publication in 1859 of On the Origin of Species, a book whose enunciation of the theory of how man evolved from animals rocked religious beliefs to their foundations and shook the scientific thinking of a century and beyond. The collection also contains photographs of Darwin and his family, newspaper clippings, reviews of his books, boyhood notes on birds and proofs of On the Origin of Species. Other material sheds light on Victorian family life, including a recipe for boiling rice scrawled in Darwin’s handwriting. There is also a memorandum on marriage, which he wrote in 1838.
