    All the comments about Sir David Attenborough. And I get it. He is my hero, too.
    But I have to say something about the paragraph he reads from Charles Darwin. This is profound literature found in a science textbook of all places. It hit me hard when I read the Origin of Species. It moved me to tears. I learned it by heart. And now, everytime I stand in the museum of natural history in front of the "wall of biodiversity" I can`t help myself but to recite this masterpiece. Still moves me. And will probably never stop.
    It`s a blessing to have studied biology, standing on the shoulders of so many giants, and to understand evolution, ecology and zoology. At least to some degree. It deepens the spiritual experience everyone can have in nature. A lot. That`s probably what Darwin experienced. What most of the giants in my field experienced. And it is most certainly what drives Sir David Attenborough. The more you know about nature, the more deeply you fall in love with it. And there is no limit here. No law of dimishing returns.
    And this love and passion is what makes Sir David Attenborough so great.

      @@eccentricoldcow You've quoted a source to backup your false assertion, but your source clearly states that they came up with their theories independently, and says nothing about Darwin having "stolen ideas" from AFW. If you care to read your quoted source you will also see that AFW and Darwin's theories had subtle (yet important) differences. You will also see that AFW became one of Darwin's staunchest defenders, hardly the actions of a man of that period who felt that his ideas had been stolen (perhaps read a biography of Richard Owen for a description of the often competitive nature of natural history at that time).
