Creation Plot Summary
What happens in Creation from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Charles Darwin is a British naturalist living a quiet, almost pastoral life in an idyllic village, a man who is as brilliant as he is deeply emotional. He is devoted to his wife, Emma, and to their children, especially his eldest daughter Annie, a bright and inquisitive ten-year-old who loves learning about nature and the world. He shares with her stories from his travels and, most of all, his evolving ideas about life, including his theory of evolution. Annie’s favorite tale—though it ends sadly—centers on Jenny, a young orangutan brought from Borneo to the London Zoo, a story that hints at the fragility of life and the mysteries of science.
