Darwin’s Missing Notes Go Online

A MISSING notebook clutched by British naturalist Charles Darwin, who circumnavigated the globe, returned to Britain and demolished the Victorian hubris that humans stood alone as the pinnacle of creation, was published for the first time yesterday.The original notebook, which documents Darwin’s observations throughout his five-year voyage to the Amazon, Patagonia and the Pacific aboard HMS Beagle, is presumed stolen, but using a microfilm copy, Cambridge University scientists yesterday made it available free online, along with the entire works of the scientist credited with the most important advance in science of the past 300 years (from the Age) See the site: The Complete Works of Charles Darwin
