Charles Darwin has been hailed as the greatest scientist of the 19th century for his discovery of the secrets of evolution. Today, the impact of his work is still felt thoughout the world. but did Darwin really come up with the mechanisms of evolution himself or did he take it from a young researcher -- Alfred Russel Wallace-- trying to impress him? The Darwin Conspiracy is a true story about deceit and deception and stands as an outstanding metaphor for the idea of survival of the fittest.
