Charles Darwin died OTD in 1882. Stories of a deathbed renunciation of his doubts about Christianity and recantation of his theory circulated widely (mostly in the US, predictably). They were, however, lies. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, next to John Herschel. 🧪🌱🐋 #HistSTM #Evobio #PhilSci

Darwin’s last publication was about sexual, not natural, selection: “After having carefully weighed to the best of my ability the various arguments which have been advanced against the principle of sexual selection, I remain firmly convinced of its truth." 🦋🦫🧪🌱🐋 #HistSTM #Evobio #PhilSci
