Just a note. The Darwin exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History  in 
New York is nearing the end of its run. If it comes to a museum near you (or  
you will be in NY before the end of the summer) I urge all of you to see it. 
The  most amazing part of the exhibit are the "transmutational" notebooks that 
Darwin  used to record is thinking about evolution written between 1836 to  
1838. The actual notebooks where Darwin comes up with evolution by natural  
selection. The actual notebooks where a theory that changed the world was  
born. 
You can see it and you can almost touch it. Notebook B is opened  to the page 
where Darwin draws the tree of life - the connection between all  living 
creatures for the first time. It is right there in front of your  eyes. The 
exhibit 
also documents Darwin's life - for the great satan  he lived the most moral 
and exemplary life. He was a devoted husband and loving  father. A man of 
incredible personal honesty integrity and modesty -  ambitious yes - but 
honest. 
 
See the exhibit if you can
