The notebooks, which were wrapped together in plastic, were left on the floor outside the librarian’s office.The famous"tree of life" sketch dates to the summer of 1837 when Darwin had recently returned from his trip on board HMS Beagle, more than 20 years before the publication of"On the Origin of Species."considered
However, the police investigation into who took the books continues. They were originally taken from the library's Special Collection Strong Rooms in September 2000 to be photographed.
