Incredibly relatable Darwin

He has the same handwriting as my doctor. I can’t read a thing. 😂

He had a tough time. The death of his daughter devastated him.

Doesn't sound live evolution to me...

Mankind, or should I say, 'Selfkind' is going backwards!

aajonesy68.bsky.social•87 days ago

What would he say about the world today?

penpaladin.bsky.social•87 days ago

I imagine he would be unsurprised humanity would wreak such havoc but surprised how well we have succeeded at it

So relatable.

My undergrad dissertation (publ. under my maiden name) was on Darwin's work with bees. I fully agreed with him when I found this quote: "I do so hope that you have not wasted any time for my stupid blunder - I hate myself, I hate clover and I hate bees." I love bees but after months of rewrites...
