Letter: Thanks for praising the merits of Darwin's theory

Published 7 October 2020

From Graham Revill, Clachaig, Argyll, UK

You brought a lump to my throat with your piece on the triumphs of evolutionary science, (26 September). At long last, a small victory in these unsettling times. I have often quoted the sentence, “The voices of evolution’s detractors have largely fallen silent, worn down by the patient drumbeat of reason.” Thank goodness and thank science.
