150th Anniversary of the most mis-quoted title in science history:
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.
Wish I had a dollar for every time I heard "Origin of the Species"
Enjoy.
Plus some other cool science stuff, with multi-media (oooo....)
Also presumably not made up.

Don, thanks for this link. Evolution is one of my favorite topics and I liked how Darwin's writing has been incorporated with "modern" comments here.
ReplyDeleteJust like Darwin's theory itself, even the title of his book is misinterpreted by those who did not bother to understand it.
