I am in full paper mode right now so I do not have much time to talk...but after reading most of Desmond and Moore's biography of Darwin, I have such a different perception of him.
I always pictured him as this high society naturalist with an edge, but... during his time on the Beagle , Charles Darwin was anything but dainty. He spent most of his time rouging it on the plains of South America with native guides and riding with gauchos, eating armadillo and puma and liking it. He had to bargain with warlords and tread over hundreds of miles of rough territory just to look at new flora and species.
I just did not know... it is a pretty interesting thing.
