always been my lucky number. My birthday, Aaron's

Charles Darwin. FREE!
Darwin was a British scientist who laid the
foundations of the theory of evolution and
transformed the way we think about the natural
world.
Among the manuscripts included in this exhibition
are writings by Malthus and Alfred Russel Wallace
- who greatly influenced Darwin's work.
Darwin published 'On the Origin of Species by
Means of Natural Selection' in 1859, and was
vehemently attacked, particularly by the church.
However, his ideas soon gained currency and have
become the new orthodoxy.
