In case anyone was curious:
Darwin glass is a natural glass found south of Queenstown in West Coast, Tasmania. It takes its name from Mount Darwin in the West Coast Range, where it was first reported, and later gave its name to Darwin Crater, a probable impact crater, and the inferred source of the glass.
and
The Darwin Medal is awarded by the Royal Society every alternate year for "work of acknowledged distinction in the broad area of biology in which Charles Darwin worked, notably in evolution, population biology, organismal biology and biological diversity"

I don’t understand the anonymous wildcards or the single candidate polls: did I miss the explanation, or am I just totally naive thinking there might be one?
Can ‘meh’ go through?
