An English Naturalist who was the author of “Origin of Species” as well as several other books. Charles Darwin revolutionized biology with the scientific theory of evolution. Evolution is Descent with modification. Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species. This is a scientific fact and the theory of evolution has never been disproved much as some would like to see that happen.
For some reason this inspires great hostility among people who have obviously never read or done research on evolution. (As evidenced by the questions about why are there still apes. Answer: Evolution isn’t a ladder, it more like a tree that has many branches. Humans didn’t evolve from modern day apes such as chimpanzees… humans and chimps have a common ancestor. The descendents of that common ancestor split off into different species over millions of years. )

Charles Darwin had ten children, three of whom died early. Many of his surviving children and their grandchildren would later achieve notability themselves.

Get the Charles Darwin mug.A very convincing liar. A scam artist pretending to be interested in your well-being or wants you to be interested in someone else's well-being in order to trick you into handing over your money. A person who manipulates your vulerabilities and appeals to your emotions with a touching story or puppy-dog face before asking for a 'financial' gift.

Get the Charlea mug.Breed of dog that origingated in England a long friggin time ago. They were the royal dog until the pug was introduced. Looks a lot like a Cocker Spaniel, but nothing like it. Cocker Spaniels are stupid. Cavaliers are the best pets ever.

Get the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mug.Adequate size suburb with mostly white middle-class people. If you live in the county and meet someone new your 1st question to ask/answer is "What high school did you go to?". Your answer will speak volumes because that is how you'll be judged.
Odd mix of people who think they live in St. Louis, therefore acting ghetto as hell, and people who think they're from the country, therefore acting liks hicks. Nobody lives on a farm, but you might own land a while away. Nobody lives in the ghetto, but SCHS is sketch.
Small enough to call it a town because chances are wherever you go you can run into someone you know. Big enough to call it a suburb if you want to associate with STL. It takes 4 exits along hwy 70 to pass through.
Majority of HS grads go to SCC. A good amount will go to a state school. A few enlist. A lot go to Lewis and Clark. But we all have one thing in common: HS was pathetic and did not prepare you for college.
Most people have their license and a job at 16 years old. The only thing to do is a football or basketball game on Friday night. Maybe people will gather in a basement a drink some beer while their parents are upstairs.
Awkwardly located north enough to like hockey but south enough to say "y'all". Hunting season is just as big as baseball season. Girls wear carhartts for no reason.
Home of the words hoosier, skeet, and hella. Everyone has gone on a float trip, been to el maguey, lyons, fritz's, plays washers, and had a bonfire and CFM slushie.
