Episode 4 - Rio Blues - Part 1

The Devolution of the Species

Having arrived at Rio de Janeiro, Darwin and Syms leave the Beagle and explore the rainforest with a morally questionable Irishman, encountering unsatisfactory accommodation, cannons and tropical illnesses in the process. Back aboard the Beagle, McCormick is finally pushed to his limits by the actions of Captain FitzRoy, and Derbishire’s past come backs to haunt him. The Devolution of the Species was created by Cameron Gray, Abraham de Cugnac and George Corrigan.
