i mean the fact that darwin managed to figure out the mechanism behind evolution during the time when people didnt even know anything about stuff like DNA and genes and chromosomes and stuff is kinda amazing.

He would never undertake such a huge, tedious task, Darwin wrote, if he'd known that Gray was likely to swoop in and cherry-pick the juiciest barnacle revelations.

this shouldnt be this funny but it is, darwin getting into a huff over barnacles.

"why do men have nipples?"

bro asking the right questions.
