Description
Darwin at 200: Rethinking the Revolution
Lecture by Janet Browne
Thursday, February 12, 6:00 pm
On February 12, cities and universities around the world will celebrate “Darwin Day.” But what is being celebrated, the achievements of a single individual or the acceptance of his controversial theory of evolution? Harvard’s Janet Browne, Aramont Professor of the History of Science, will explore Charles Darwin’s cultural significance and what he has come to represent over time: the idea of scientific progress. Free and open to the public in the Geological Lecture Hall, 24 Oxford Street.
Part of the Evolution Matters programming.
