Darwin's Legacy

This image is from the 2/2009 National Geographic page 54.  It provides a nice summary of the progression in evolution and genetics since Darwin's The Origin of Species was published.  In the story that followed this diagram, it is noted that Francis Crick was the grandson of an amateur naturalist named Walter Crick who sent Darwin a beetle sample used in his last publication.  What a small world!
