On the Origin of Species

Foi publicado há precisamente 150 anos!

Os ingleses fizeram um filme a comemorar os 150 anos da publicação deste livro (hoje) e os 200 anos do nascimento de Darwin (em 12 de fevereiro de 1809).

Nos EUA não vamos poder vê-lo porque não há distribuidor.

Dawkins, em 2007: "I'm a biologist, and the central theorem of our subject: the theory of design, Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. In professional circles everywhere, it's of course universally accepted. In non-professional circles outside America, it's largely ignored. But in non-professional circles within America, it arouses so much hostility -- (Laughter) -- that it's fair to say that American biologists are in a state of war. The war is so worrying at present, with court cases coming up in one state after another, that I felt I had to say something about it."
