Set against the backdrop of 1861, the discovery of a remarkably preserved fossil skeleton in Bavaria provides crucial evidence for Darwin's theory of evolution. This transitional creature, known as Archaeopteryx, stirs ongoing debates about the origins of birds, their relationship to dinosaurs, and the evolution of flight. Pat Shipman explores humanity's fascination with flight and our quest for knowledge, framing the narrative as an adventurous journey through the unfolding drama of scientific discovery.
