Darwinian smut

Sunday, 01-Jan-2023

Began my ‘Daily Darwin’ project to try to read at least 10 pages of Darwin’s correspondence each day. It’s just a general principle, rather than a set target, so breaking the chain is fine. Today’s smutty highlight:

I am glad to hear so good an account of your Willy.
—Charles Darwin to Joseph Dalton Hooker, 04-Feb-1861

It’s good to be reading the old chap again.
