And how does this relate to the jibber-jabber that is Darwin's _On_the_Origin_of_Species_? I can't find the word "gene" in the index.

The concept of evolution has, uhh, evolved after Darwin first came up with it. You can't find the content of the latest peer-reviewed articles in evolutionary biology journals in Origin of Species, either.
