Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined for a second time by Dr. Kostas Kamporakis. He's author and editor of several books about science. He works at the Teacher Training Institute and the section of biology at the University of Geneva.

And today we're talking about his book, Darwin Mythology. debunking myths, correcting falsehood. So Dr. Kampurakis, welcome back to the show. It's always a pleasure to talk with you.

Thank you very much. It's a pleasure for me too. Okay, so let me start by asking you, I guess, a simple question. So what is the premise of the book and why did you feel the need to write a book uh such a volume on Darwin and myths surrounding Darwin?
