  Robert Edmond Grant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Edmond Grant (1793-1874), born in Edinburgh and educated at Edinburgh University as a doctor, became one of the foremost biologists of the early 19th century at Edinburgh and subsequently a professor at London University, particularly noted for his influence on Charles Darwin.
Grant studied marine life around the Firth of Forth, collecting specimens around the shores near a house he took at Prestonpans as well as from fishing boats, and becoming an expert on the taxonomy and functioning of sponges and sea-slugs.
Grant took Darwin as a guest to the Wernerian society which was held in professor Robert Jameson's room with membership restricted to MDs, where Darwin saw a demonstration by John James Audubon.

Grant, 8 inches shorter than the president, walked slowly toward him (presidential secretary John Hay remembered later that it was "a long walk for a bashful man"), and the two men shook hands for the first time.
Grant, who a fellow Union officer once said "habitually wears an expression as if he had determined to drive his head through a brick wall, and was about to do it," relaxed enough to permit himself a slight smile.
Grant, the least superstitious of men, had no time for old wives' tales, but he did understand that unless he moved quickly through the Wilderness, he and his army were dangerously vulnerable to enemy attack.

 The Mahablog » Ulysses S. Grant
Grant, Newman writes, “went on to be the President who would oversee the ratification of the 15th Amendment and enactment of the civil rights enforcement laws that — after the interregnum of disuse under Jim Crow — to this day are a backbone of civil rights in this nation.”
Grant was undoubtedly a great general, and his Presidency, as you indicate, was hardly the disaster usually depicted by historians under the influence of the Lost Cause.
Grant wasn’t handicapped by Lincoln as Lee was with Davis, Grant had far greater resources to draw on, and Grant was given the top command in the Union while Lee was, until the last few weeks of the war, just an army commander.

 Charles Darwin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Robert Darwin FRS (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist who achieved lasting fame by producing considerable evidence that species originated through evolutionary change, at the same time proposing the scientific theory that natural selection is the mechanism by which such change occurs.
This theory is now considered a cornerstone of biology, and has significantly affected other disciplines such as philosophy, psychology and anthropology.
In March 1827, Darwin made a presentation to the Plinian society of his own discovery that the fl spores often found in oyster shells were the eggs of a skate leech.
