adevotedjashinist asked: You are correct that Darwin didnt publish immediatly
He (and his wife) fear persucution from the christians that made up the majority, so he withheld his information for a long time. His original plan was for it to be published following his death, but that was abandoned.
Are any of you out there up for the challenge of finding a strong synopsis of the creation of the origin of species and submitting it as a text document? That would be awesome!
