Charles Darwin / 查尔斯·达尔文

Charles Darwin appears in 68.疯狂实验史：哎！这该死的求知欲… through the episode’s earthworm experiments. The source highlights his tests of whether earthworms could see, distinguish color, hear music, or respond to vibration, including the comic image of playing music and bassoon for worms.

In the episode, Darwin’s earthworms are a counterweight to the more horrific medical and public-spectacle cases. The experiments look funny, but they still model Observation Before Inference: ask a precise question, vary stimuli, and separate hearing from vibration rather than infer from human intuition.
