How far will you go?
You need an adult’s permission to join. Or play the game without joining, but you’ll not be able to save your progress.
Three handwritten letters, which were exchanged between Mary Boole and Charles Darwin.
Are there links to current religious practices or a modern equivalent?
Letters have long been a way for people to communicate. Now that ideas are so much more accessible to a significant proportion of the world’s population, the means of communication have naturally changed too. For example, people who have questions about religion and science might choose to write to an online forum such as Richard Dawkins’s Converts Corner or the Science and Religion Forum.
The project is publishing all of Darwin’s correspondence (over 15,000 letters) online, as well as producing educational resources for ages 7-16, for universities and for Darwin scholars. Schools resources include a timeline, short films, PowerPoint presentations and a wide range of subject specific and cross-curricular activities.
