"Stan Guffey had been waiting months for Nov. 18 to arrive. On
that day, Christian groups handed out free copies of a 150th-
anniversary edition of Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species on college
campuses across the country. Guffey is a biology lecturer at the
University of Tennessee who earned his doctorate studying genetic
differences between northern and southern populations of brook trout.
When he heard talk outside his office about people handing out books
on the UT plaza, Guffey says, “I hot-footed it over to get myself a
copy.”
“Would you like me to autograph this?” Guffey asked the
distributors, telling them he is one of the authors, albeit
unacknowledged. Since spring, e-mails had been trickling in alerting
him to extensive similarities between the first three pages of the
edition’s introduction and “A Brief History of Charles Darwin,” which
Guffey wrote in 1997 for UT’s first Darwin Day event. He wrote the
biography, handed out on campus each February and available through
the Darwin Day website, “to make Darwin accessible to people who
thought Darwin was a devil, to make him human.” "
