CHARLES DARWIN was an all-around nice guy-agreeable, mild-

mannered, appealingly shy. Plagued by violent fits of vomiting

brought on at the least sign of stress, he avoided controversy at

all cost. Yet he was a passionate and keen observer of nature,

and what he noticed in creatures as small as barnacles, worms,

and beetles eventually led him to his big, bold, and ragingly

controversial theory of evolution-how species change over

time. Well aware that his ideas about species adaptation would

rock the world of biology, Darwin played a twenty-year waiting

game with himself before going public in 1859 with The Origin of

Species. Would he be surprises that even now, one hundred and

fifty years later, debate still rages over Darwinian evolution? Not

at all!
