1859 Henry Maull – Darwin

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A GREAT MAN:

Charles Darwin has contributed more to our understanding of the world around us than any other person since Plato founded the Academy or Pythagoras set the foundations of modern maths.

Today, 12th of February marks the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin and it may prove to be a good year for all Darwin related things (which incidentally, was published also 150 years ago) as the area around Down House may become a World Heritage Site, HMS Beagle is being rebuilt, Cambridge will play host to a number of Darwin exhibits schedualed for 2009, and many other events are in the works!

You can find further information about Darwin and related events in the following sites:

• Darwin Bicentennial – Natural History Museum celebration
