Something like one fifth of British teens think Winston Churchill was a fictional character.

Winston Churchill who played a MUCH MORE direct role in the history of England then Darwin did in the history of anything.

People in general are... not stupid persay... but don't care to remember stuff that doesn't directly impact their lives.

The history of biology? Or even science? 

Afterall, Darwin is widely considered the father of modern biology because the theory of evolution is so very central to it, given that biology is one of the major branches of science he is easily one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century.

But yeah, stupid people are stupid in every country.

Believe it or not,  yes.  Sceince is considered worthless to most people.

It took me a minute to figure out what you were even talking about, but now I'm confident you simply misunderstood what Rath was referring to. 

Oh, i see how.  I'd still argue that yeah.  Winston Churchill did a lot more.

Afterall the only reason Darwin published was he was about to get beaten to the punch.

 A world without Churchill would be different. 

A world without Darwin... we would be talking about "Wallace's Theory of Evolution."
