Despite the flurry of silly commentary this statement will inevitably provoke, the fact of evolution is beyond reasonable dispute. That organisms have evolved over time, and continue to do so today, is one of the most well-attested facts in science. How they evolve remains the subject of lively scientific
If you’ve never seen the 2011 series The Borgias, you’re missing out. Like Game of Thrones, with less exploitation hackery and more historical accuracy, the show doesn’t shy away from the sordid realities of mediaeval Italy (so, all the nudity and violence you could want), while packing
