A brilliant man with an amazing knowledge of biology and geology. Probably the greatest scientist of the 19th century. His style of writing shows not only his vast knowledge (in "The Origin of Species") but also a persuasive style of writing (in "The Descent of Man"). And a sensitive man when he describes how a negro slave lowered his head before him in total submission in South America (in "The Voyage of the Beagle").

Sushil: Did Darwin write his autobiography? I have never heard that. It would be interesting to read that.

Sushil: Thank you. I found the book on Amazon.com also. "Autobiography of Charles Darwin: Edited by His Son Francis Darwin" ((Hardcover - Mar 2009).
