~ Presents ~
2013 marks the 214th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, whose researches and original concepts have provided a foundation for much of modern science. It is also the 154th anniversary (Nov. 24) of the publication of
The Origin of Species.Darwin's Gift
Science Brings new Hope for Humanity
We will mark February 9th 2013 with this event, designed to enhance the public understanding and appreciation of science.
Charles Darwin (1809-1882) conjoined decades of keen field observations with his investigative spirit and the knowledge of his day to produce what some consider the most significant scientific works ever authored. As relevant as ever, Darwin’s worldview offers a way of understanding – and solving – the 21st century’s ecological crisis. Our presentation reviews his writings and links them to viable solutions for a sustainable future. Borrowing from the words of Theodosius Dobzhansky, the great evolutionary biologist, “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.”
