"The first draft of a book which changed the world's attitude to evolution is available for the first time online.
Papers which led to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution were previously only available to scholars at Cambridge University's library.
The draft notes are among 20,000 archive items created by the 19th Century naturalist during his lifetime.
Dr John van Wyhe, a Darwin specialist at Cambridge University, said: "He changed our understanding of nature."
Some light reading can be found here: The Complete Works of Charles Darwin Online.
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”
That's pretty cool...some pretty dry reading but pretty cool.

“It is the strongest of the species that survives, and the most intelligent that survives. But most importantly, it is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”
These few minor changes and it sounds eerily like HRC and intelligent design.
