I know exactly what would be at the top of Darwin's birthday wishlist if he were still alive today: transitional fossils! Too bad Chuck, maybe someday we'll find some. We'll all keep our fingers crossed :)

I'm much more for celebrating Abe Lincoln's birthday... Darwin did have some pretty rad eye brows...but you just can't top Abe's beard!!

actually in the most recent National Geographic magazine there is an article on Darwin and it mentions some very wild animals that he ate!!

have humans really progressed??? What would Darwin say?
