To a new medical adviser, when he was 56 years old, Darwin summed up his problems in writing:

"Age 56-57. - For twenty-five years extreme spasmodic daily & nightly flatulence: occasional vomiting, on two occasions prolonged during months. Vomiting preceded by shivering, hysterical crying, dying sensations or half-faint. & copious and very palid urine. Now vomiting & every passage of flatulence preceded by ringing of ears, treading on air & vision. focus & black dots, air fatigues, specially risky, brings on the Head symptoms[,] nervousness when E[mma]. leaves me..."

Ralph Colp in "To Be In Invalid"

"I believe that the evidence shows that Darwin's feelings about his evolutionary theory were a major cause for his illness."

HYPOCHONDRIAC...and charlatan. It's long past time to sweep this trivial concept of life into the trashbin of history slong with his admirers.

"HYPOCHONDRIAC...and charlatan. "

You are again positing things you can't and won't defend. How is he a charlatan? That means he is deliberately lying. Put up evidence he lied or back off your wild claims.

Now, please provide evidence for ANY of these things:

1) Darwin was a misanthrope
2) Darwin was a liar. (And not merely mistaken about something)
3) There were ever 500 theses about Piltdown man.

Why are you so afraid to provide ANY evidence for your assertions?

BTW, the consensus is that he suffered from a physical, not psychological, illness. Though it is obvious you are pleased to see any human being suffer like he did whatever the cause.
