The Corpus Callosum

The Corpus Callosum is an occasional journal of armchair musings, by a suburban, reality-based, slightly-left-of-center guy, who reserves the right to be highly irregular at times. Topics: social commentary, neuroscience, politics, science news. Mission: to develop connections between hard science and social science, using linear thinking and intuition; and to explore the relative merits of spontaneity vs. strategy.

On 24 November, 1859, Charles Darwin's book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, was published.

Things haven't been the same, ever since.  For example, the cost of a new copy, then, was 15 shillings.  Now it's 97.55 shillings for a hardcover copy (or it would be, if the Brits still used shillings).  That is the main difference.  The biology is still the same.

I'm already celebrating the life and music of Freddie Mercury, who died this day in 1991 - but I'll raise a glass to Darwin, then, too... :)

It was a best seller. The entire first press run sold out the first day of publication.
