Happy belated Darwin's birthday!

I couldn't think of anything to say to celebrate Darwin's birthday(*) when it happened. But better late than never, a vid which illustrates with educational clarity where we stand in the evolutionary chain:

Unnatural Selection: Battlestar Galactica, Terminator

(*)That's the scientist, not the city. Which makes me wonder when Perth's birthday is...

The article was a review of a new book on Darwin by two previous biographers, revisiting his intellectual legacy in light of the anti-slavery links in his family, his readings and correspondences etc. Called Darwin's Sacred Cause. Still can't remember which bloody article though -- perhaps it was in the ABR or something.

That sounds interesting (in an "I probably wouldn't bother actually reading it myself" sort of way :))
