Mr. Darwin Regrets

Why the great English naturalist would be dismayed by the bicentenary hoopla

A geology enthusiast in his early life, Charles Darwin would have surely reached for the word "deluge" or "explosion" to describe the sheer amount of activity that we are all witnessing to celebrate his birth in 1809 and the 1859 publication of "The Origin of Species." Even as you read this, another 747 has flown overhead, crammed with historians, scientists and commentators, all en route to some exotic locale, all hoping that they have something new to say about Darwin and his work.
