The status of the Malaysian peacock present was stunning. The display lip and in the center of the room it looked a metallic sculpture. I wanted to take the work of art home. The Darwin exhibition is running at the Fitz William Museum in Cambridge for a few more days. My visit yesterday on a hot and crowded Thursday afternoon was enjoyable and stimulating. I was reminded again and again that evolution is about much more than biology despite beautiful specimens and drawings on display. First I've forgotten about Geology I'm not when the chicken or the egg came first but during the 19th century observed and started to understand the age and the structure of the earth's crust I appreciate the fossil records at a time when Darwin was beginning to publish his theory. Influential(?) artists such a Raskin were beginning to see the landscape ___ for the first time people were starting to have a framework for appreciating the evidence that was all around.
