Fact of the Day: Doctor Grandfather
Charles Darwin's grandfather Erasmus Darwin was quite the well-respected doctor. King George III offered him the role as the Physician to the King, which he declined.

Good thing he declined.
Good for him.
The smart genes were overflowing in that lineage:D
Happy Saturday, Adam!
Probably had other things to do.
Smart genes!
I wouldn't treat a king either.... unless it's Elven King Thranduil

Smart man! Not much future in treating a Mad King!
Seems greatness ran in the family
smart family!
I think there's a bridge in Rotterdam named Erasmus!

Probably a smart decision since George III ended up insane,
Nice fact, I always learn something when I come on your blog :)
Looks like genius ran in the family. Love these posts!

Good thing he turned it down, huh? I guess Erasmus didn't want to get the blame when George went crackers.
does that mean he was a scientist too?
