STRANDS of hair believed to have fallen out of Charles Darwin's beard will go on show in public for the first time today.
They were discovered by Randal Keynes, Darwin's great-great grandson, as he looked in a small leather box that had been kept by Darwin's daughter Etty.

The hairs are on display at the Natural History Museum, London.
