Some odd Charles Darwin news:
A rare first edition of Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" was sold on November 24, 2009 at Christie's Auction House, in London, for 103,250 pounds (about $172,500 USD). The thing about this rare edition is that it was discovered sitting on the toilet bookshelf of a house in Oxford, England. |

Charles Darwin News Update: |
|
DATELINE: December 14, 2009 - Doctor John Hayman, associate professor at Monash Univerity in Melbourne, suggests that Charles Darwin was suffering from an inherited disorder known as "cyclical vomiting syndrome". Hayman writes in the British Medical Journal that cyclical vomiting syndrome mainly affects children but can appear for the first time in adulthood. "The syndrome is related to migraine but is linked to genetic abnormalities. Classic symptoms of cyclical vomiting syndrome include severe sickness, headaches, anxiety and intense abdominal pain. Many patients also suffer from eczema and recurrent skin infections." This is pretty much an exact list of the symptoms Darwin suffered from most of his life.
