It's interesting that Darwin, of all people, married his first cousin, Emma Wedgewood. She was quite rich (from the Wedgewood pottery family), so it probably had something to do with survival of the fittest.

Keep in mind, Darwin was totally unaware of genetics, Mendel's discoveries not being widely disseminated until after CD died.

I like Darwin a lot. The suicide bombers are proving him right. They aren't living long enough to breed.
