This week we took some time to consider the man who changed scientific thinking forever, Charles Darwin. February 12, 2009 was the 200th anniversary of his birth, and 150th anniversary of his book :"On the Origin of Species". His thoughts on species changing over time through a process called "natural selection" changed the world view of evolutionary relationships between living things. His thoughtful observations during a five year expedition on the HMS Beagle are still classic examples of how one man can make CHANGE. In this new century and with a new President, there are many lessons we can apply to our understanding of how the world works. For more information, visit: http://www.darwin200.org/
