In this letter written to his friend and mentor Charles Lyell less than three weeks after the publication of On the Origin of Species, Darwin describes the reaction of the great anatomist Richard Owen to his theory
Richard Owen, though he had a difficult temperament, was one of the most respected scientists of his day, and Darwin had entrusted many of the fossils he had collected in South America to Owen for analysis. But Owen did not accept Darwin's theory, and was apparently jealous of the interest generated by On the Origin of Species. Here Darwin describes a conversation with Owen shortly after its publication.
Academic standards correlations on Teachers' Domain use the Achievement Standards Network (ASN) database of state and national standards, provided to NSDL projects courtesy of JES & Co.
We assign reference terms to each statement within a standards document and to each media resource, and correlations are based upon matches of these terms for a given grade band. If a particular standards document of interest to you is not displayed yet, it most likely has not yet been processed by ASN or by Teachers' Domain. We will be adding social studies and arts correlations over the coming year, and also will be increasing the specificity of alignment.
