It's Evolutions Birthday

While I know that Americans are going to focus more on the 4th of July than on the 1st of July, it is an important note that 150 years ago today, papers written by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace were read to a meeting of the Linnean Society of London on July 1st 1858. In short, today is Evolutions birthday.

Evolution is the foundation of modern biology, and perhaps the most supported theory in science. Visit the web site The Beagle Project for a more complete description of the history of this day.

RichardDawkins.net has an exclusive video titled Dawkins on Darwin.

This will be a great opportunity to brush up on your understanding of evolution and it's history.

Enjoy.
