Just another quick thought before I go back to pondering C. hortensis colouration -- it could be that ARW's radical socialist politics were even more fatal to his reputation than his Spiritualism (and Huxleyan style agnosticism, much like Darwins, though Darwin was more reticent in discussing his faith or lack thereof). The only reason this occurs to me is that we hear little today of one of my great scientific heroes (though I am well known as anti "hero" anyway). JBS Haldane. Dunno. Just a thought!
