Colin Purrington > Charles Darwin as Santa Claus, just in case you had any doubts.

Colin Purrington > Quote on floor of the California Academy of Sciences, in San Francisco. "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change." Charles Darwin did not say this. It's actually so incredibly idiotic that Darwin would have been incapable of writing it. Still, often attributed to him and used widely in evolution exhibits and cheesy books on succeeding in business. Quote is by Leon Megginson, by the way -- he was a professor of marketing at Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge, and died in 2010. I haven't been back to the museum, but I think the quote is still there. They should remove it, or at least add the proper attribution. Without an attribution, people will assume the drivel is from Charles Darwin, since he's the unstated focus of the darn exhibit. Details at http://colinpurrington.com/2012/darwin-on-the-floor-lhao/.
