Darwin's theory of common descent does for biology what Galileo did for the planets. It was laid out in a book written for the general reader, the only bestseller to change man's conception of himself. An idea put forward in 1859 is still the cement that binds the marvellous discoveries of today. The Origin of Species is, without doubt, the book of the millennium. - Steve Jones
