- In the “Darwin” chapter, Alberto tells Sophie: “The key words from the middle f the [nineteenth] century were nature, environment, history, evolution, and growth.” After doing some independent research and/or discussing the matter with your classmates, write a short essay in which you both pinpoint and explain the corresponding “key terms” from the twentieth century—or maybe even the twenty-first.
