Today, February 12, 2011, is Darwin Day. It would have been Charles Darwin's 202nd birthday. (Of course, even if he'd been a tortoise, he wouldn't have lived that long—maybe if he'd been a koi fish.) Over the past couple of years, to commemorate his 200th, and the 150th anniversary of his most famous book, I wrote some posts. They were:
- Darwin day
- Ida isn't a missing link (and a followup)
- Going beyond common sense
- Ardi isn't a missing link either
- Three evolution book reviews
- The Origin at 150
- What Darwin didn't get wrong
- Another relative
- All hail the blue whale
- We breed our pets for cuteness
- Prints in the ash
- These science PR stunts piss me off
