I'm reading 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' by Bill Bryson at the minute. In fact, I've been reading it for over two years, but that's a reflection of my laziness, not the book's intrigue. Anyway, I just came across a quote I wanted to share.
"Having married his own cousin, Darwin glumly suspected that certain physical and mental frailties among his children arose from a lack of diversity in his family tree."
Brilliant.
