Happy birthday to Charles Darwin, famed naturalist and
geologist. And, incidentally, happy Darwin Day! This annual
celebration commemorates not only Darwin’s birthday, but also
his contributions to science and evolutionary theory. Darwin Day
was informally founded in 1909 when over 400 scientists met to
honor him and to discuss recent discoveries and related
theories.
