Lady Psyche has obviously read this book - hence her outpouring about Darwinian Man !

Most of us have heard of Survival Of The Fittest, but how many of us actually know what the phrase means ? Here is Darwin's thesis, set out in colourful Victorian English. This is a book which changed the way the world thinks. In this one book, Charles Darwin challenges the thinking of centuries. And yet his ideas are not in any way irreligious - they simply describe what he found - nature in the course of development.
