elisanisly's review against another edition
challenging
slow-paced
My clinical obsessive-compulsive disorder made me read this for some reason. It is 800 pages about sheep, fossils, and pigeons all for a conclusion that was not in any way shocking or groundbreaking today. You’d think someone so celebrated for their so-called brilliance would be at least a 50/50 writer, but sometimes things don’t turn out the how you would expect.
+0.25 for scientific innovation I guess
-5.25 for being really fucking racist
Rest in pieces, Charles
