4. Dude could use an eyebrow trim
Looks like he's been growing that beard for a couple of hundred years, too.

Seriously, I read a biographical about him that also went into his theories. He was a very interesting person. I wish his ideas were more widely known. Instead the only time we hear about Darwin outside of PBS is when some dumbass accidentally castrates himself or dies choking on a live goldfish.

5. Darwin's ideas are very widely known.
See, e. g., the references and external links listed in the wikipedia article:
