Charles Darwin was able to stir up almost as much controversy with notions about dogs and emotions as with chimps and evolution.
The British naturalist, born 200 years ago on Feb. 12, transformed how the scientific community thinks about the evolution of plant, animal and human life through his brilliant, seminal work, “On The Origin of Species.”
Although Darwin’s pioneering notions about natural selection and evolutionary biology continue to draw plenty of fire and fury from religious creationists, he has another book that ruffles feathers, too.
