Darwin at the Natural History Museum

Charles Darwin's book On the Origin of Species shattered a vast collection of cherished myths. The truths he showed us are so difficult to consider that we still haven't got round to taking them on board. Instead, we have created a new mythology to cover up the gaping hole Darwin has left in our species-pride.

Darwin's Finches Offer New Glimpse Into How Species Diverge

Darwin art strikes wrong note

It is the ultimate, infallible tribute to a Briton: placing their portrait on a banknote alongside images of their life and work. But now a leading UK biologist has announced that pictures on the £10 note, which commemorates the achievements of Charles Darwin, are 'little better than fiction'.

Darwin Was Right About How Evolution Can Affect Whole Group

Worker ants of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your fertility. The highly specialized worker castes in ants represent the pinnacle of social organization in the insect world. As in any society, however, ant colonies are filled with internal strife and conflict. So what binds them together? More than 150 years ago, Charles Darwin had an idea and now he's been proven right.

Mockingbird Specimens Sparked Darwin's Theory

The significance of the two birds lying side by side on a purple cushion with tags dangling from their feet is easy to miss. But the subtle differences—a strip of white on the wing, a smudge of dark on the breast—set Charles Darwin on course to develop the most important scientific theory ever conceived: the evolution of species through natural selection.

Darwin's Gift to Science and Religion

Francisco J. Ayala argues that Darwinian evolutionary theory is a gift not only to science, but also to theology. According to Ayala, it absolves God of responsibility for the cruelty, misery, destruction and poor functional design in the natural world. He also claims that evolution is consistent with orthodox Christian belief in an omnipotent, benevolent deity while creationism and intelligent design are not, because evolution accounts for these natural evils with clumsy adaptation, rather than the specific design of a creator.
