Talk:Charles Darwin

Ten pound note
In 2017, Darwin's face is being replaced with that of Jane Austen on the ten pound note. Much as I like Austen, Conservapedia are going to have a field day with this one. --Let Them Eat Cake (talk) 22:08, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Much as I like Austen, a half-dozen stupid men in the United States are going to have a field day with this one. Fixed that for you.

 * The reason that they are changing the £10 note is that every ten years or so notes are changed as a matter of routine, mainly for security reasons

Well that's a relief. --Let Them Eat Cake (talk) 14:46, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

19th century opinion on Darwin
From an 1870s magazine I was looking at - Monkeys in India have caught dengue fever: this proves Darwin is correct' (presumably because both species are related).

Things Darwin got wrong
There is no mention on the article about his hypothesis of pangenesis which was essentially Lamarckian. This paper explains (The Rise and Fall of Darwin's Second Theory, Journal of the History of Biology). Jean (talk) 17:20, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Stupid question
Why did I hear Darwin was sexist? Is that true?

A Toast to one of the Giants upon who's shoulders we humbly stand.
We already have the Poe Toaster, thus to carry on this noble tradition, we ought to have a Darwin Toaster. And just as the Poe Toaster bought a bottle of cognac and some roses, we too must place an offering. So RationalWiki, I ask you what Beveridge would be fitting for this great upright-ape? and of course how many roses should we leave? Leucippus 20:14, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
