Darwin for Beginners

This is another Biology book and another in my favourite cartoon book series. I read this in September. I thought I knew a lot about Darwin but discovered quite a bit that I didn't already know. I wasn't aware that he sat on his discoveries for so long. What I liked most is that the person who was most enthusiastic about his discoveries, T.E. Huxley, said "The idea of Evolution by Natural Selection is so obvious that I can't believe I didn't think of it myself." I've felt like that myself over some teaching ideas I've been shown this term!
