Twenty-one years passed between Charles Darwin’s epiphany that natural selection formed the basis of evolution and the scientist’s publication of *On the Origin of Species*. Why did Darwin delay, and what happened during the course of those two decades? The human drama and scientific basis of these years constitute a fascinating, tangled tale that elucidates the character of a cautious naturalist who initiated an intellectual revolution.
