The two notebooks — one of which includes Darwin's famous 1837 'Tree of Life' sketch — were returned to Cambridge University's Library in March. They went missing in January 2001.

A set of rare notebooks filled with notes by Charles Darwin have been anonymously returned to the University of Cambridge, over 20 years after they were initially reported missing.

They were left outside the librarian's office and wrapped in plastic, inside a pink gift bag with a brown envelope containing the notebooks' archive box, and an unsigned printed note.

"They may be tiny, just the size of postcards, but the notebooks' impact on the history of science, and their importance to our world-class collections here, cannot be overstated." "Objects such as these are crucial for our understanding of not only the history of science but the history of humankind."
