Down House at Downe -- gotta love the way the Britts do certain things.

Evolution Ping The List-O-Links

A conservative, pro-evolution science list, now with over 340 names. See the list's explanation, then FReepmail to be added or dropped. To assist beginners: But it's "just a theory", Evo-Troll's Toolkit, and How to argue against a scientific theory.

This is quite a funny nomination given the other things on the World Heritage list for the UK. Completely out of place but never mind.

Btw, “Down House at Downe” is a good address, but can’t beat The (old) Duke of Wellington’s, which was No. 1 London.

Here are some more nice pictures of the house "our religious founder" to find.

He's buried in Westminster Abbey, near Newton and Lord Kelvin.

Nice looking house. I vote we put Darwin on the $10 bill.

Aside from Darwin's study which alone was worth the visit, the "Sand Walk" was lovely. It is said that it was while walking the grounds and gardens back of Down House that he was able to elaborate on some of his early writing. It was a Heritage landmark last summer.

The property also includes the scientist's experimental garden where he studied plants and animals.

Oh, to walk in the footsteps of such a giant!
