"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

These Sally Lightfoot crabs live at the Galápagos Islands. These crabs were collected by Charles Darwin during his voyages on HMS Beagle. Somebody else wrote "They are very beautiful, with clear brilliant colors, red and blues and warm browns."
