Happy Darwin Day!!

It was on this date in 1809 that the great naturalist and evolutionist Charles Darwin was born. Thanks to the efforts of humanists Robert Stephens and Arthur Jackson, it’s a date that’s been celebrated as Darwin Day since 1995. This year, Darwin Day festivities and programs will be held in at least 18 countries around the world in what’s been called “an International Celebration of Science and Humanity.”
