Happy Darwin Day!
Yes, today is the 198th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, and scientists and laypeople around the world are marking the occasion with celebrations of science and humanity. How do I know this? Well, because there is this web site detailing such events the world over. And, perhaps more importantly, because I will be attending a Darwin Day event myself. Tomorrow, at my Unitarian Universalist church, Worcester State College professor Sandy Paracer (a friend of mine!) will lecture on Darwin and his ideas. I will be there, in the front row, clutching my copy of THE TREE OF LIFE.
There is a book for every day, I tell you, and a day for every book. I love it.
