Was it Sir Arthur Nightingale's dismal book about natural selection? Or was it the devastating response by an obscure country vicar called Charles Darwin, whose bestselling 'Theology of Species' made it impossible to refute the divine design of living creatures? Either way, it's no easy task to change history, (less)
