CREATION is John Collee’s screen adaption of Annie’s Box by Randal Keynes OBE, a British conservationist, author and great-great-grandson of Charles Darwin.
In this intimate exploration of his famous ancestry, Annie’s Box, subtitled Darwin, His Daughter, and Human Evolution we learn about the relationship between Darwin and his daughter Annie whose early death deeply affected him and his views on religion.
“This book by Darwin’s great-great-grandson draws on family records as well as much other material to provide a full and vivid account of the tragedy (of a daughter’s death) and its impact. Randal Keynes brings out the deep emotionality of Darwin’s nature and demonstrates how far he was from the caricature picture of the dispassionate intellectual.” Ref
