Erasmus Darwin was an English physician. He was Charles Darwin's grandfather and he is believed to have influenced Charles Darwin as far as the development of Charles Darwin's evolutionary beliefs.[1]
Although Erasmus Darwin was a physician, he was overweight. An article entitled Darwinism: it was all in the family declares concerning Erasmus Darwin:
| “ | His love of food (particularly fruits, sugar, cream and butter) was matched by his dislike of exercise, and by the age of 46 he had grown so corpulent that a semi-circle had to be cut out of his dining table to accommodate his girth at meal times.[2] | ” |
