Took all the credit for the theory of evolution despite Wallace having pre-presented and included some of Wallace's work in his own publications - Wallace was a commoner, had no 'family' money so couldn't get the backing from high society. Towards the end of his life Darwin helped organise a 'small' pension for him - guilt or what?

Only joking really; there's always a third truth :)
