Synopsis section[edit]

Alas I seem to have lost my synopsis notes that I was very slow about adding. I will post a synopsis if I ever find them, but I fear I shall not. Richard001 (talk) 00:39, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Found them! Will post something soon then. Richard001 (talk) 08:41, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More important than Origin of Species?[edit]

I've heard this a couple of times now, eg. here: http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/darwin-publishes-work-on-mold-and-worms . That article isn't referenced, so I'm not sure if this comes from a misquote, or a misreading of a primary source, but it would definitely be worth including this info if anyone could find a primary source. --naught101 (talk) 06:51, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
