Creation Author Randal Keynes on His Great Great Grandfather, Darwin

Randal Keynes, a great great grandson of Charles Darwin and author of Creation, (the book on which the movie Creation—released today—is based) pens an essay for The Wall Street Journal’s Speakeasy about seeing the adaptation on the big screen, the story of “a shy man’s cover for a passionate commitment to his science coupled with a deep love for his wife and children, an unnerving ease in switching between scientific detachment and parental concern, and a breathtaking boldness in thinking through the most radical and challenging implications of his insights.”
