Charles Darwin is often credited with the discovery of the theory of natural selection. 

This is partially true, but it isn’t totally true. He didn’t do this alone. In particular, there was someone else who did much of the research that lead to the discovery.

In the process, he also made a discovery that bear’s his name and influenced the fields of both biology and geology.

Grady Hendrix loves horror movies, especially those old 80s slashers. And his new book is a tribute to that "final girl" at the end of so many of them: The one who doesn't necessarily survive by being smarter or stronger, but simply makes it to the end alive by not giving up. NPR's Audie Cornish interviewed him about his novel Final Girl Support Group, which is about exactly what it sounds like, a support group for women who survived psycho murderers — except it seems like someone's starting to hunt them down – again. As Hendrix says, what's the scariest thing for a "Final Girl?" A sequel.

In the late 19th century, bananas, a fruit that had been popular for thousands of years suddenly became a mass-market sensation.

However, just a few decades after it was popularized, the industry had to completely change what was grown due to a pestilence. 

As a result, the bananas that most people eat today are very different than the bananas that everyone ate before the second world war.

Learn more about bananas, and why your grandparents didn’t eat the same kind, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Jhumpa Lahiri is best known for her fictional stories about immigration; novels that usually explore themes that arise from living in between two worlds. In her new book of essays, Translating Myself and Others, Lahiri writes about the ways in which she herself has lived between worlds, and the other kind of writing she does: translation. In an interview with All Things Considered, Lahiri spoke to Mary Louise Kelly about how her relationship to language changed with translation and how it ultimately made her a better writer.

Ever since humans looked up at the night sky and noticed that some of the points of light moved, they have been aware of the planet Jupiter. 

However, it was the invention of the telescope that let us know just how amazing Jupiter was. 

Since then, we’ve sent eight probes to the planet to help us unlock its secrets. 

Learn more about Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For teenagers, every life question can feel existential. It was like that for Elif Bautman, who found meaning through literature and creative writing. Her new book Either/Or – the sequel to The Idiot – explores the life of an adolescent as she looks for answers to her questions in books. In an interview on Morning Edition, Batuman told Rachel Martin about living an aesthetic life, experiencing a sexual awakening through books, and how she sees herself in the protagonist.

John J. Miller is joined by David Hackett Fischer to discuss his new books, 'African Founders.'
