Evolution Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We’ve had a mention in Wikipedia, the online encyclopaedia written by volunteers around the world. If you follow the link below and click on the little [1] reference, you’ll be brought back here to my Evolution Day Thought for the Day on 24 November 2006.

Evolution Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Evolution Day is the anniversary of the first publication of The Origin of Species on November 24, 1859. [1] Also celebrated is Darwin Day which commemorates the birthday of Charles Darwin who established the theory of natural selection which provided for a biological process behind evolution.

The year 2009 will mark the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin as well as the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth.
