“Children are one’s greatest happiness, but often & often a still greater misery. A man of science ought to have none.” – Charles Darwin     Charles Darwin (2 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) and his wife and first cousin Emma had ten children together – six boys and four girls, seven of whom survived into adulthood. At some point the Darwin children found their father’s masterpiece, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (1859), and drew all over it. George Howard Darwin drew a taxonomy of the British infantry. Francis Darwin doodled a salad. One of them drew a caricature of Darwin.       Via: Darwin Manuscripts Project at the American Museum of Natural History. The post Charles Darwin Drawings and Doodles appeared first on Flashbak.
