Comments on the clue
1.Nice use of Darwin to deceive in the surface.
2.Good clue – personally not keen on noun indicators but they seem to be more and more accepted
3.VG combination of surface & definition, but indicator of first letters hard to accept. Eg, "origins of primitive humans" wd be sounder.
