Darwin found that walking was conducive to his thinking. He had a sand-lined path (called the Sandwalk) constructed behind his house in Downe, and weather permitting, he walked the full length of this path (about three-quarters of a mile) several times a day, usually at noon and 4 PM. He solved some of the most difficult problems associated with his argument for evolution by natural selection as he was walking around what he sometimes called his &#8220;thinking path.&#8221; Always ready to assist him were his 16 hard-working research assistants who played an important but generally unrecognized role in Darwin&#8217;s life and scientific research.<\/span><\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:image {\"id\":197,\"width\":840,\"height\":1256,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-197\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ocf.berkeley.edu\/~sulloway\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearcovers_frontWEB_HighRes-1-685x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"1256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearcovers_frontWEB_HighRes-1-685x1024.jpg 685w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearcovers_frontWEB_HighRes-1-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearcovers_frontWEB_HighRes-1-768x1148.jpg 768w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearcovers_frontWEB_HighRes-1-1028x1536.jpg 1028w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearcovers_frontWEB_HighRes-1-1370x2048.jpg 1370w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearcovers_frontWEB_HighRes-1-602x900.jpg 602w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearcovers_frontWEB_HighRes-1-174x260.jpg 174w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearcovers_frontWEB_HighRes-1-scaled.jpg 1713w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:image {\"id\":198,\"width\":841,\"height\":1268,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-198\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ocf.berkeley.edu\/~sulloway\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearCovers_Bcover_back_HighResWEB-1-679x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"841\" height=\"1268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearCovers_Bcover_back_HighResWEB-1-679x1024.jpg 679w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearCovers_Bcover_back_HighResWEB-1-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearCovers_Bcover_back_HighResWEB-1-768x1159.jpg 768w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearCovers_Bcover_back_HighResWEB-1-1018x1536.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearCovers_Bcover_back_HighResWEB-1-1357x2048.jpg 1357w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearCovers_Bcover_back_HighResWEB-1-596x900.jpg 596w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearCovers_Bcover_back_HighResWEB-1-172x260.jpg 172w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinBearCovers_Bcover_back_HighResWEB-1-scaled.jpg 1696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 841px) 100vw, 841px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:image {\"id\":55,\"width\":838,\"height\":518,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-55\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ocf.berkeley.edu\/~sulloway\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinAndHisBears_AmazonInformation5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"838\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinAndHisBears_AmazonInformation5.jpg 970w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinAndHisBears_AmazonInformation5-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinAndHisBears_AmazonInformation5-768x475.jpg 768w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinAndHisBears_AmazonInformation5-900x557.jpg 900w, https:\/\/darwinbear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DarwinAndHisBears_AmazonInformation5-260x161.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );
