The earthworm: preventing flooding and understanding cancer cells

"It may be doubted whether there are many other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the world, as have these lowly organised creatures." This was a quote by the father of the theory of evolution, Charles Darwin, when describing the earthworm in his book, On the Formation of Mould.
