These include the extensive Italian fossil evidence for human evolution; Darwin's many connections with Italian scientists; and the fact that Darwin's initial thoughts on evolution, encountered in his geological notes written while on board the Beagle and also in his "Red Notebook" shortly after returning to England, were absolutely dependent on the thinking of the Italian geologist Giovanni Battista Brocchi. This is a new discovery - and a perfect addition to the Italian version of the Darwin exhibition. My congratulations to Codice. Idee per la cultura and the brilliant work of the organizers, designers and writers of this important exhibition!
