A False Quote From CHARLES DARWIN

[janic...@gmail.com]

I finished the course and honestly, it has really changed the way I see/search things now. On my professor's desktop background, there was this quote:

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change." 

- Charles Darwin

I loved the quote and for that reason along with my new, profound knowledge.. I put it to the test. As I was typing it onto the Google search bar, I noticed a typo. The word 'survives' was spelled "survivies" which made me skeptical. 

I cut the quote and as expected, there were lots of search results. For some reason, I clicked 'images' and found a few pictures that revealed a different person possessing this quote. His name is Leon C. Megginson. After looking through more, it turns out my skepticism was true. 

I researched deeper and used the date tool. I set the data to everything before 1990. I found that as the first and oldest result was a power point published by the National University in Malaysia in 1970. Using the Control-F tool, I found the quote on page 32, but here's the mystery.. it said Charles Darwin, not Leon C. Megginson.
