Jerry Coyne: A Letter To Darwin - Here's What Has Happened In The Last 150 Years
By Jerry Coyne | February 4th 2009 11:52 AM | 1 comment | Print | E-mail | Track Comments
My Dear Mr. Darwin,

Happy 200th birthday! I hope you are as well as can expected for someone who has been dead for nearly 130 years. I suppose that your final book, the one about earthworms, has a special significance for you these days. Are the worms of Westminster Abbey superior to the ones you studied so carefully in the grounds of your home at Downe in Kent?   They’ve certainly mulched some distinguished people over the years!
