dc.description.abstract	Charles Darwin is widely known for On The Origin Of Species, but his curiosity extended far beyond animals; he was also a passionate botanist with a fascination for carnivorous plants. His 1875 work, Insectivorous Plants, investigated how carnivorous plants have adapted to trap and digest prey. This lecture will revisit Darwin's early contributions to our understanding of carnivorous plant evolution and explore how recent advances in evolutionary biology have expanded his work.
