R2d2 Disses Darwin

by Richard William Nelson | Mar 3, 2016

R2D2, short for Artoo-Detoo, is best known as the fictional robotic character in the Star Wars universe series created by George Lucas. Inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame in 2003, R2D2 has since been included in the Smithsonian Institution’s list of 101 Objects that Made America.

R2D2 is the good guy, the favorite character of George Lucas – known for always saving the day at least once in every film. However, R2d2 disses Darwin.

In the realm of biology, however, the R2d2 gene is a Darth Vader villain terrorizing Darwin’s once-popular theory.
