The surgeon-naturalist of HMS Beagle, Benjamin Bynoe, R.N., FRCS, has
remained invisible despite his role in helping his friend, Charles Darwin, to
pin down the first solid evidence for the theory of evolution, and despite
outstanding work as a naturalist in Australia. From lowly white creole roots
in Barbados, through the trailblazing years of exploration on the Beagle, to
subsequent assignments, his doctoring skills were valued by all under his
care: his shipmates, his captain, convicts bound for Australia, Irish peasants
during the Great Famine - and Darwin himself.
Liz Laidler pulls Bynoe from the shadows and along the way, divulges the
intimate, untold side of life as lived by the men on the Beagle.
