Abstract	For many students, preconceived notions about Darwin are among the most significant obstacles in learning about the theory of evolution by natural selection. I present an activity designed to eliminate this obstacle and encourage empathizing with Darwin, utilizing the history-of-science approach. Through the activity, students' negative thoughts about Darwin disappeared, Darwin's position as a scientist came to the fore, students' interest in evolution increased, and they started to discuss the theory within a scientific framework. (As Provided).
