@HeatherMJ @Natasha_Jay there are years between these entries of frustration.

@Natasha_Jay the entire letter with the bees is amazing:

My dear Lubbock

I beg a million pardons. Abuse me to any degree but forgive me— it is all an illusion (but almost excusable) about the Bees.2 I do so hope that you have not wasted any time for my stupid blunder.— I hate myself I hate clover & I hate Bees—

In Haste to catch evening post | Yours sincerely | C. Darwin

@HeatherMJ @Natasha_Jay It's not gross societal injustice that's the problem. It's bees. Bees are the real evil.

Some days we are all Charles Darwin.

@Natasha_Jay he wasn’t first with evolution. But he was the first with enough money to self-publish a book on it

He came to Edinburgh University, dropped out of his course but saw the work that was being done there on evolution.

Robert Chambers was the first to write on evolutionary theories, but he wrote anonymously and published in England so as not to offend the church https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robert_Chambers_(publisher,_born_1802)&wprov=rarw1
