The Definitive Darwin.

Image: The Nonist.

A century and a half after Darwin's most important work was published, people still seem to have a hard time wrapping their minds around its implications, or are made nervous and upset by them. The authors at The Nonist thought it was high time that Darwin's image was updated and his ideas put into less technical terms which everyone can understand. With that in mind they modified Bob Peak's poster for Every Which Way But Loose, creating an image better fit to reach the doubtful American public.

To celebrate Darwin's day I posted on a recent paper that cited some of Darwin's somewhat less known work, a monograph he wrote on barnacles.

Christopher Neufeld and Richard Palmer had this work on barnacle penis size and water turbulence and speed. Good stuff.
