It’s been more than 150 years since Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, in which he posited the theory of "natural selection" and the evolution of life, and it’s still a topic of argument among politicians and theologians (though, funnily enough, not among scientists, almost all of whom agree with it).
How Darwin came to develop his theories — and how he struggled with his religious wife, Emma, about them — is the subject of the 2009 drama "Creation," which will screen Wednesday, Feb. 22, as part of the University of Utah’s Anthropology Film Series.
