"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

I just played chess (it was a draw) with someone in Narendranagar, India. Population is only 4,796. If I ever go to India, I would go to this paradise.
Wikipedia: The Narendranagar Palace', is now home to 'Ananda - In the Himalayas', a destination spa, that looks down into the Doon Valley from its majestic height of 3000 feet. Crowning a picturesque ridge of the mighty Himalayan ranges, the palace is a symbol of the grandeur and splendour of an era gone by. Original relief work still adorns the palace walls and two magnificent World War I cannons flank the royal gateway.
