Darwin Day HistoryDarwin Day is a global celebration that honors the birthday and life of the eminent biologist, Charles Darwin, known for his ground-breaking contribution to the science of evolution. Established by various educational and scientific institutions, this annual recognition emphasizes the importance of science in our daily lives and inspires a new generation of thinkers. Darwin Day traces back to 1909, on the 100th anniversary of Darwin's birth when scientists and scholars globally convened to celebrate his contributions. In America, the tradition began in 1995 when molecular and cell biologist Dr. Robert Stephens proposed the establishment of Darwin Day Celebration, an independent, non-profit organization. The day is typically celebrated by organizing public outreach programs that present Darwin's contributions and achievements in evolutionary biology and emphasize the importance of science in modern society. Debates, symposiums, and dinners are common celebratory events on this day. Darwin's birthday, February 12th, offers people across the globe the opportunity to deeply reflect on the principles of intellectual bravery, perpetual curiosity, and the hunger for truth that form the foundation of scientific discovery.
