Darwin Day 2017
Born Charles Robert Darwin on Feb. 12, 1809, he just turned 208th if he were still alive.
Charles Darwin was one of the most influential naturalists whose work is still considered one of the best, truly a classic, of all time.
The whole month of February is celebrated as Darwin month, proof of how important he is. Every biology student, teacher, researcher, and educator should find inspiration from his works. Not only are his papers proof of his ingenuity but more importantly of the scientific attitude and passion that he greatly exemplified.
