Tallahassee — Edward Osborne (E.O.) Wilson, the esteemed Harvard professor emeritus and a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner for his biology books, presented a 55-minute tribute to Charles Darwin, “the most important man who ever lived.”
Wilson’s talk, a highlight in the two-week-long Origins ’09 series organized by Florida State University, was in no way controversial. It was a history lecture from one of the most famous biologists since Darwin, who would have turned 200 last month and is the inspiration for the unique symposium.
Darwin is “The most important man who ever livedâ€? Well, it would be presumptuous of me to argue with Wilson. But I’d certainly put Darwin in my top ten.
