It is interesting that ''both'' of Darwin's grandfathers (the physician and poet Erasmus Darwin, and the pottery manufacturer Josiah Wedgwood) were members of the [[Lunar Society]], a private club devoted to science, philosophy, and free thinking based in [[Birmingham]], [[England]], which was largely responsible for starting the industrial revolution, and also numbered amongst its members the American scientist and politician Benjamin Franklin.

==Beliefs Regarding Women==
In ''The Descent of Man'', Darwin said, "males are more evolutionarily advanced than females." Darwin believed that women were inferior to men because of their smaller brains and lesser strength. According to his and his disciples writings, this is because they are protected by men and prevented from "surviving the fittest".
