it has always seemed to me that the really great 19th-century natural scientist wasn't Darwin, but Gregor Mendel, whose years of patient and meticulous experiment and observation gave us the knowledge of genetics that in turn gave us that new and improved evolutionary theory. And if Mendel's discoveries made it necessary to revise Darwin's original formulation, isn't it at least possible that some new discovery might necessitate further revision?On another front, think for a moment about all the things regarding health and diet that have been bandied about in the media over the years.
