The Greek Revolution of 1821: More Like the World Revolution of 1821
Even though the Greek Revolution of 1821 was a battle for Greek Independence, events beyond Greece were extremely significant to it. Lots of credit must be given to the Filiki Etaireia (Φιλική Εταιρεία), a secret group that contributed a lot to the Greeks with the assistance of foreigners, such as Americans and British. When it came down to money, these people also played an important role in the Revolution.
While Darwin is the undisputed scientific mind behind the modern perception of evolution, he was certainly no expert on the subject when he began his interest and a number of his conclusions reached after years of analysis and his landmark “ On the Origin of Species” are now in dispute by the scientific community. While he lead the way in research on the topic of evolution, current scientific discoveries in epigenetics and new DNA research disprove many topics that made up the entirety of his theory of evolution.
