Darwin Anniversaries 2009
2009 marks the bicentenary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his work, 'On the Origin of Species'.
Darwin's work culminated in his theory of natural selection which radically transformed our understanding of both the origins of life and the relationship between the environment and all species on Earth.
In celebration of Darwin's work The University of Sydney is hosting a series of events during 2009 as an exploration of all things Darwinian. These events focus on the success of Darwin's work at his time and on the progress that has been made since Darwin's seminal work.
In an intellectual tour de force, University of Sydney researchers will present their thoughts on how Darwin's ideas can be applied to other domains of science and make their predictions on the Darwinian future.
