Ars Technicast, Episode 15: Read any Darwin lately?:

Aurich Lawson / Thinkstock

Why is it that so many people have not read Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species? This seminal work of scientific literature has been one of the most influential and hotly debated works of the modern age, but many people have never even read it. In this episode of the Ars Technicast, Editor in Chief Ken Fisher and Senior Science Editor John Timmer join Senior Apple Editor Jacqui Cheng and Social Editor Cesar Torres in a discussion about Darwin’s book. In this episode we talk about how the book has been incorporated into academia and the merits of Darwin's writing style, as well as possible ways in which it could be discussed as a piece of literature.
