	Darwin, Charles (1809-1882) -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Scientific Biography
		English naturalist who was the grandson of Erasmus Darwin and father of physicist George Darwin.
		Darwin was probably influenced in his formulation of evolution by the Uniformitarian views expressed in Lyell's Principles of Geology, which Darwin had brought on board the Beagle.
		Darwin further entangled himself in controversy with the publishing of The Descent of Man (1871), in which he specifically addressed the evolution of the human species.

		Darwin's father, Dr. Robert Darwin, was now quite ill. Darwin went to Shrewsbury to see his father, but while there his illness flared up again and he spent most of his time resting on the sofa in the living room.
		Darwin was put on a daily routine that went as follows: get up early in the morning for a walk, have breakfast, get scrubbed with a cold wet towel for a short time, walk for twenty minutes and wear a cold wet towel compress all day long.
		Darwin invited Thomas Huxley (naturalist and lecturer at the London School of Mines), Joseph Hooker (botanical naturalist), John Lubbock (banker, politician, and his next door neighbor) and Thomas Wollaston (a leading entomologist) to Down House for a special meeting.

	The KLI Theory Lab - Review of Beer, G. 2000. Darwin's Plots. by Johann W.N. Tempelhoff
		"Darwin was seeking to create a story of the world--a fiction--which would not entirely rely upon the scope of man's reason nor upon the infinitesimally small powers of observation he possesses, as they act within the world spread all about him, and as they enclose him through the shortness of his time span.
		Darwin's description of the "survival of the fittest" at first appears to be one of the single direction stories in evolutionary thought.
		For example, what Darwin had done was to intensify the unsettled and long-used themes in relations between men and women by placing courtship, sensibility, the making of matches, women's beauty, men's dominance and inheritance in all its forms, squarely into the arena of a new set of problems.

	Darwin - Uncyclopedia
		Darwin spent the entire first half of his life flying here and there, before formulating both the theory of Evolution and the theory of Natural Selection simultanuously in a humorous accident involving leeches and genitalia.
		Darwin is best known for his second book, Dance Dance Evolution, and of course for his piercings, of which he had accumulated 1821 by the end of his too-brief life.
		They chose Darwin, because of course being the father of the evolution therory is the embodyment of pure evil to backward evangelicalists.

	Good Schools, George Denyer -- Darwin and Evolution

		Darwin and Darwin's theories are not generally accepted by contemporary physicists and cosmologists, and, therefore, Darwin and Darwin's theories ought not be accepted whole-cloth by our schools of education, and ought not be presented as fact in public schools.
		Darwin was a racist, Darwin's theory of evolution is racist, and Darwin's theory of origins is racist.

	darwin's plot
		In Darwin’s Plots, Beer wants to look at the connection between science and narrative fiction; her primary focus is the way in which science that is ingrained into society and the unconscious naturally makes its way into narrative works, influencing not only the content but the form as well.
		In using Darwin as a lens to examine Middlemarch, Beer focuses on his argument that variation “is the key to evolutionary development” and the ways in which Eliot applies this notion of development in her fiction.
		George Eliot takes the word ‘variation,’ in which so much current controversy is moving and applies it to ‘the social lot of women’: variation under domestication’ is for them a difficult endeavour.

	Erasmus Darwin
		Erasmus Darwin, the grandfather of Charles, deserves credit for his belief in the possibility of the development of species.
		Darwin then implicitly postulates that the direct creation of life is one infinity, and the capacity to cause the generation of life is another infinity.
		Erasmus Darwin falls into this linguistic trap when he writes "The colours of many animals seem adapted to their purposes of concealing themselves either to avoid danger, or to spring upon their prey"(Erasmus Darwin, 510.).

	Hentzi: Darwin & Darwinism in Victorian Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Darwin himself is everywhere in Victorian literature, including a fictionalized portrait in Elizabeth Gaskell's Wives and Daughters (1866), and he was by no means an isolated figure.
		Nevertheless, for certain key figures, Darwinism played an important role in the development of representations of English life that would be faithful to their rapidly changing age, and it is above all in the novel that the most sophisticated engagement with scientific thought takes place, as some noteworthy books have demonstrated.
		Moreover, like the Victorian novelists themselves, Darwin was telling a new and in many ways revolutionary story, and the object of recent scholarship has been to reveal the extent of the intellectual commerce between these seemingly different kinds of narratives.

	URBANOWICZ ON DARWIN/September 1996
		Charles Darwin was an extremely important individual for a variety of reasons: the data he collected, the experiments he conducted, and the theories he proposed influenced a variety of disciplines, from anthropology to zoology as well as ecology, geology, and the general social sciences.
		Robert Darwin had the distinction of being the largest man that Charles Darwin ever observed: Robert Darwin was some six feet two inches in height, with a tremendous girth, and the last time he weighed himself he was at some 360 pounds (or 24 stone in the measurement system of the day).
		Darwin was essentially confined to his home at Down as a result of his illness from his South American research and he really did not take part in the great public and scientific debates that came about with the publication of Origin.
