My memory is faintish after 40 years, but I *think* there's a
reasonably direct reference to Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle
in van Vogt's book. I remember reading it and making the
connection, which hadn't hit me before.
Next year's Darwin Bicentennial & Origin of Species
Sesquicentenary might raise the recognition factor.
BTW, any comments on the Nobels?
