Actually Darwin was forced to publish because another 'naturalist' whose name I forget was about to publish in France. With the EXACT same theory. While his daughter's death did help, the main impetous for his decision was the threat of someone else publishing first. We have the same problem today in the world of science. That's why the press jumps on headlines about "discoveries" when in fact they are no such thing. They are only published experiments that point to a given conclusion. ONLY until the process has been repeated many times is any signifigance given to the claim. At which point the discovery is acknwologed in the scientific community.
