@Natasha_Jay the entire letter with the bees is amazing:
My dear Lubbock
I beg a million pardons. Abuse me to any degree but forgive me— it is all an illusion (but almost excusable) about the Bees.2 I do so hope that you have not wasted any time for my stupid blunder.— I hate myself I hate clover & I hate Bees—
In Haste to catch evening post | Yours sincerely | C. Darwin
@Natasha_Jay @meuwese couldn't help but read that in my head in Colin Firth's voice.

I recently read his “Voyage of the Beagle”. He shared mostly negative impressions of every stop on his trip around the world. It was a surprisingly depressing read -

@Natasha_Jay Am ...
Am I ... Charles Darwin ..?

@Natasha_Jay Not a happy chap apparently
@HeatherMJ @Natasha_Jay It's not gross societal injustice that's the problem. It's bees. Bees are the real evil.

@Natasha_Jay he wasn’t first with evolution. But he was the first with enough money to self-publish a book on it
He came to Edinburgh University, dropped out of his course but saw the work that was being done there on evolution.
Robert Chambers was the first to write on evolutionary theories, but he wrote anonymously and published in England so as not to offend the church https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robert_Chambers_(publisher,_born_1802)&wprov=rarw1

@Natasha_Jay seems like once a year, that's OK. Some (me included) are happy when there is a day when they don't feel bad.

@Natasha_Jay I would take "Languid and Bedeviled" as the title of my autobiography if I could be bothered to write it.
@katyswain @Natasha_Jay my autobiography will be titled "I Will Never Finish This Stupid Thing" and then never come out.

@Natasha_Jay I'm going to start using “very stomachy”

@Natasha_Jay I may have had my low points, but I've never hated bees.
@KennyPark and what on earth did clover ever do to Charles? @Natasha_Jay

@Natasha_Jay Wow, and I thought I was a miserable old bugger!

@katyswain but, you hate writing autobiographies too. right?

Trickle up science; ever wonder how inventions happen? It’s learning, a trickle up science called evolution.

Wow, he and I had so much in common.
These aren't just bad day comments; they're almost every day thoughts. I could tell everyone evolution is the result of vibrational stimuli at the atomic level, but who would believe me? -f (Visible Spectrum) = No Eyes.
How long did it take Darwin's theory to sink in, heliocentric, animals are intelligent...? Just not "head" advanced enough yet to know more I guess. I hate everyone...and writing...

Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, widely known for his contributions to evolutionary biology. His proposition that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor is now generally accepted and considered a fundamental scientific concept.
