Few things have evolved more rapidly since Charles Darwin’s time than human communication, so it’s fitting that mountains of his scrawlings are now available online.
At http://darwin-online.org.uk, papers that had been available only to scholars are now free for all to peruse. It’s dubbed “the largest publication of Darwin’s papers in history” with thousands of handwritten manuscripts along with other works.
If you want to freshen up on your Darwinism before you paw through the extensive archives, read our story about Darwin’s adventures and tragedy and brush up on how evolution works.
