Re: [Phys-l] Happy Birthday Evolution



With things as they stand, maybe we should be wishing evolution "good luck"
rather than a happy birthday!

Paul Camp (2008), in his PhysLrnR post "happy birthday evolution" wrote:

"150 years ago today, Darwin and Wallace jointly published the first
announcement of the principle of evolution by natural selection.
Remarkable for a number of reasons, not least because it was a joint
paper with the elder Darwin not seizing all the glory (pay attention
people!), and also because 150 years later the idea still manages to
be controversial. . . . ."
