Happy Darwin Day!

"Darwin Day is a celebration to commemorate the anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin on 12 February 1809. The day is used to highlight Darwin's contribution to science and to promote science in general. Darwin Day is celebrated around the world." (Wikipedia)


I didn't know about it and I still read this interesting short book today. It describes Darwin as an animal lover, opposed to vivisection and kind to his pets. A good read for one rainy afternoon.
