Darwin Celebration Feb 12



If you haven't heard all about this yet, this year marks a very special year for evolutionary biology. It is the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin, as well as the 150th anniversary of the first publication of his work, The Origin of Species. There are celebrations planned at universities all over the world, and there are also several planned events happening in the blogosphere. One event is the blog for Darwin blog carnival. This will aggregate posts about evolution, Darwin, and the history of biology that were written between Feb 12 (Darwin's birthday) and Feb 15, and will serve as a reference to anyone interested in Evolution. I plan on adding a few posts during this time so keep an eye out. I am pretty sure that the posts will be about several areas of modern applications that would not exist without knowledge of evolutionary processes (medicine, wildlife management, etc..).
